Hi Mike, That's very interesting. I hadn't heard that suggestion before. I'll give it a try. Regards Mike

Hi all, How do you seal screws which penetrate the buoyancy tanks (in a Wanderer Mark 2)? This applies to eg the screws for the swivel plates for the floorboards and the screws at the bottom of the

Michael On the Hartley boats I thought the slot in the foot of the mast was supposed to sit over the bolt in the track so it can’t move either way. This means removing the pin and lifting the mast

We have had a similar problem on our sailing club Hartleys. Part of the problem can be that the mast step can slide forward. We have found that it helps to put another bolt in the mast step, in front

I have a pair of old Avon inflatable dinghy oars which split in half and fit in the gap between the thwart and outside of the hull. This space is probably different in the Hartley boats though. They

Oars for a Wanderer I think you probably want yours oars full length to row comfortably. We have a 2015 Hartley version of the Wanderer and decided that we needed both oars and paddles. So we got

If you are opening it up and replacing the ply, you might want to consider filling it with epoxy afterwards to fill any gaps and preserve the wood. Mine had no forward barrier, I did the repair by

Wow thanks Martin. Most helpful. I’ll have to schedule in some work I think! Sent: 07 August 2021 11:37 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [wanderer] Creaking mast Hi James, I'd second checking the

Hi Everybody, I normally use an electric outboard but it seems a little on the heavy side when sailing so was looking to use the Oars that we have but where do you store them when sailing, looks as if

Hi James, I'd second checking the mast base. I did mine recently and found that the main bit of plywood - the vertical bit that runs from the centreboard into the buoyancy tank - was ok, but all the

First thing to do is check the integrity of the mast base. If the mast is moving too much it may be that the mast base is being compressed leading to loss of rig tension. There's a plywood support

James, The mast should have no sideways movement so to prevent this you can add packing either side of the deck moulding. You have the standard fitting but this is not enough. Note that the amount of

When beating upwind my mast moves about in the jaws at deck level. Makes a pretty significant creaking. There is rope around the mast and what looks like asbestos (eek) in the jaws. Is there anything

Hello John Thank you for the reply. The dip in the boom was fairly pronounced until we altered the shrouds. It was catching my head regularly when tacking, so I think it was a bit lower than it should

Thanks for the suggestion Mike. I will check the height of the top of the sail when we rig the boat on Wednesday. I have to confess that we have been raising the mainsail with the boom on the

Hi Eleanor I too have a Hartley Wanderer and mine also is lower at the aft end. I’ve noticed this on older boats too so am thinking it is probably normal. John (1646)

Elenor Are you getting the main up to the top of the mast? Don’t put the boom on the gooseneck until after raising the sail. On my boat the luff has shrunk so it’s quite hard to pull down. Mike

I have a 2014 Hartley Wanderer ( sail no 1741) and am trying to resolve an irritation in that my boom is not level but dipping towards the aft of the boat. We have placed the rear of the mast foot at

Wrap a piece of sail cloth around the mast over the Highfield Lever area and seal with velcro

Hi folks! It's fine when there is a crew to handle the situation, but I find that when single handed, the jib sheets are apt to get jammed down between the deck and the mast at times. This makes life
