Subject: Beware of fraudulent buyers
I have my Wayfarer 8478 listed for sale with you and have received many inquiries. Unfortunately, I accepted an offer from a 'buyer' who saw the ad on your website, but it is a fraudulent scam. Meanwhile, I lost out on a couple of serious buyers. My boat is still for sale. Perhaps other sellers should be warned about this scam. The 'buyer' has a third party send a cheque for a much larger sum of money than the boat is selling for. It appears to be a classic example of the over-billing scam, where I'm expected to send the additional funds to the buyer, who is not really interested in buying the boat at all. I suspected this when I received the cheque and had the bank look into it, and they confirmed that it is indeed a forgery and that they are aware of this fraud occurring, especially targeting boat sales. Hope nobody gets victimized by this scam. Regards, Mike Kelly. |

historic wooden W282 Banshee being put up for adoption by Dave Hansman in North Bay From: Hansman, Dave  W282 Banshee has been
languishing in dry storage in a container here in North Bay for almost 13
years, ever since the North Bay Wayfarer Weekend in 2011 – the same year I
purchased W10865 Beowulf. For almost all that time, I have always thought
I would get to the vital repairs needed to make Banshee sailable again, but a
couple years ago I realized that would never be the case (too many other things
on the go now and future plans). What she needs is a complete
rebuild of the bottom side - lower chines, keelson, keel and centerboard box.
Tops sides she is good, although it has been 4 years since I last saw her;
hopefully, that has not changed. Anyway, long and short, I am
prepared to give Banshee (hull, c/b, rudder) away to anyone interested in
reviving her. There is, of course, a heavy duty trailer for her that
would be available at very favourable cost, and the rest of the Banshee inventory
could be discussed with the person who may be interested in taking on the
project of restoring the bottom sides of the hull. Should you hear of someone
interested, I am best contacted by email david.hansman.282@gmail.com Kind regards, Dave |

appropriate anchors and a boat tent for cruising. Price is $2500. USD A Honda two-horse is
available for additional $500. Please contact Robert Mosher: ph: 517-420-5820 robertmosher1@comcast.net Solje is currently

Wooden W887 Blue Mist for sale near Cleveland, Ohio W887 Mark 1 Wooden Wayfarer (1964): Richard (“Dick”)
Harrington’s “Blue Mist”, $3500 USD Did you ask Santa for a Wayfarer this Christmas? This 1964 Mark 1 Woodie, named Blue Mist, was assembled in
England. Richard Harrington, my father, purchased her in 1991 from the original
owner, and she was his pride and cruising joy for the remainder of his life.
Blue Mist is located in Ashtabula County, Ohio near Saybrook, about an hour
east of Cleveland. This Wayfarer was in good condition when last sailed late in 2019. Since the Covid pandemic, poor health prevented my father from sailing so the dinghy was mostly stored with boat cover under a carport after that time. 
Blue Mist comes with mainsail, spinnaker, two oars, boat cover, “boom tent”, and all the miscellaneous gear and accessories that my father acquired over his many years of cruising Lake Erie, coastal Maine, the Chesapeake Bay and so many other beautiful sailing locations. The trailer is old although still functional. 
I'm also including just for your reference, a photo of current location (I assume wouldn't be useful for the ad), plus a copy of the original bill of shipping after purchase through a Canadian company. I found it interesting; this Wayfarer arrived in Cleveland via transatlantic shipping from London, the dinghy on cradle as one load, and the mast as a separate load. Number 887 has had only two owners: Zoltan Massanyi of Bedford, and then my dad. I'd love to see her move on to someone who will be an enthusiastic sailor and hopefully have family to share in future Wayfarer adventures.
One caveat to the above is that I can see, is that the line used for the trailer winch is fraying. A local friend told me that the trailer itself, while it doesn't "look nice", is otherwise fine. That rope may be okay to transport the boat for now (and I had no problem driving her to the storage unit parking space), but it's a potential safety hazard. The new owner should either replace the winch rope or buy a new trailer. Do you think I need to take care of that before sale? If so, perhaps there's someone local to Cleveland who could advise on how / where to do that? (Al's note: Tony Krauss W11044 mailto:tony.krauss@gmail.com He can vet the trailer, too.) 
Contact info: Patricia Harrington-Duff (for estate of Richard Harrington) Cell: 240-470-0231 Located in Maryland but will make a trip to show the Wayfarer as needed. |
