12/04/24: W887: Wooden Wayfarer Mk I: Blue Mist owned by Dick Herrington: $3500

W887 Mark 1 Wooden Wayfarer (1964): Richard (“Dick”) Harrington’s “Blue Mist”, $3500

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.

This is a 1966 Mk I Woodie named Soje which is the traditional Norwegian term for silver jewelry and adornments. As the name suggest, she is a gem.

She was primarily used for cruising. There is an additional wooden mast but needs repairs. There is an additional Honda 2hp outboard being offered for $500. The boat is located near Lapeer Michigan.

04/11/2024: Wooden Wayfarer 276: built in 1962

With a heavy heart…

I’ve decided to put Epiphany up for sale. She is a beautiful Mark I woody Wayfarer, built, we think, in 1962 from a kit, owned for some time by Al Schoenborn’s brother, Mike, and refurbished by AnneMarie Covington and Jim Heffernan in 2017. She is rigged for racing, with a solid main, jib and spinnaker, and a new centerboard. She also comes with:

New Load Rite trailer with guide posts (2021, $2,000 value)

Beautiful wooden benches

Reefing sail

Storm jib

Gottschling cover

Boom crutch

Optional mast flotation and motor mount

I LOVE this boat – very comfortable, handles very well. Have put lots of TLC into her upkeep – sanding and varnishing yearly. However, she has a slow leak from the center trunk area, and I do not have the skill, tools or space to be able to fix that. I would really like for her to stay at LYTC or at least within the Fleet 15 community. Asking $3500 – negotiable.
