Wanderer

A friendly class association sailing perhaps the best general purpose dinghy, promoting competitive but relaxed racing inland and at sea, plus a cruising programme which in recent years has included exploring the Norfolk Broads, River Tamar, Chichester Harbour, Faversham Creek from Whitstable, The Lake District, Cleddau Estuary, Camel Estuary, Poole Harbour, Walton Backwaters, River Stour, River Orwell and Caledonian Canal.
