Agreed they are lovely boats, wuth one other problem and that is also capsize recovery single handed, both the GP and Ent are much easier. if your duck pond sailing and like the more sporty ent then go for that, if your tidal water sailing then a GP. Both are quite capable though. Kev Hi,

You should also consider a Wanderer which is very like a Wayferer that has been shortened by about 2 feet.

Stable, forgiving, multi-purpose, no slouch and it can camp-cruise two adults. Get an old Series 1 'woodie' to start with and you can add lots of sanding, varnishing and painting over winter.
