W 398 Amanda Takes Leave of  Mike and Penny Heath-Eves after 55 years

Hi Al,  We sold W 398, Amanda, December 6th to an old friend and sailing student of yours, David Black. David told us that you were his sailing instructor way back! Very nice person. I am sure you will be hearing from him.  So after 55 years (1968 - 2024) of Wayfarer 398 ownership  we decided to sell mainly because we were not using her very much and and it became apparent it was time to pass her onto someone else.  55 years is a long time to own any boat but that speaks a lot for the Wayfarer design and capability. Amanda was our summer cruiser, racing dinghy and source of discovery and enjoyment. We have had so many happy adventures with her.

The other constant has been our membership in the Association through which we got to know some of you even from a long distance and keep up with friends we had met before we left for BC and Alberta. It was also the first place to go when we wanted  to know what was going on or where to get advice.   Thank you again Al. Take care.  Happy sailing.   Mike
