Juliet is a sixteen-foot Wayfarer sailing dinghy. She has two large waterproof compartments and seats two very comfortably. We purchased her on a trailer for $1000 from Jean Wheeler of Deer Isle. Mostly fiberglass, she has a large marconi sloop rig, and draws only 8 inches with her centerboard up. One drawback is the lack of back support, but you can beach her on sand or gravel and get out to stretch and walk around. She is a breeze to launch and only slightly more trouble to recover. Her sail/hull number is W2414 which puts her in the '73-'74 range. I have grown to appreciate her sturdy construction and light weight. She obeys the adage "less is more".
