The Wanderer is a 14-foot (4.3 metres = 14.1 feet) Fibreglass hull Bermuda rigged sailing dinghy designed by Ian Proctor.

One of the main objectives of the design was to produce a robust safe and versatile dinghy that could be used for knockabout day sailing and cruising as well as racing, but was light enough to be handled ashore.

[B] The initial design brief was given to Ian Proctor by Margaret Dye who wanted a lighter dinghy than the Wayfarer that she had sailed with her husband Frank.

It has high intrinsic stability, and the normal wooden centreplate can be replaced with an 38.5 kg (85 lb) steel centre board which makes it even harder to capsize.

The WCOA organises racing and cruising events all over the United Kingdom including an annual Festival; WandererFest, which has been held at Cobnor near Chidham_and_Hambrook for the last 10 years.
