Down to one boat... each... plus a spare
Re: Down to one boat... each... plus a spare
Actually, it was between Enterprise and Wayfarer! Better built than an old glass Ent, easier to move around than a Wayfarer, and actually well thought out. Exact rival to a GP, but looks less boxy. Cheaper than a Wanderer, which is certainly the closest to it.

I look forward to having a go...Are you looking to get the Spinnaker fitted?
Cheers

Yes. Haven't looked to see what needs doing yet, though.

The boat came with a huge bag of fittings! Yet to take a look to see what will work, but suspect there is enough to rig several boats.

Rupert, you've spoils the game! We could have spent a lot longer telling you what boat to get, knowing we didn't have to be practical because it wasn't going to be us making the commitment.
Anyway, congratulations on the Leader, I've often thought the same as you, a better boat than the Wanderer at a lot less weight and price.

A few years ago we have a Wanderer (a club boat) parked next to a Leader. The owner of the leader found his boat being used by club members who had mistaken it for the Wanderer:0)

I've never actually seen a Leader in real life but from what's been said here they seem to tick a lot of boxes
Best wishes

Just peeked under the cover. Looks like you got a good deal on that one. Well done.
