UK: Samphire 23 long keel cruiser

Description

Purchased as a Hull and deck in 1978 she was completed with help from a boat builder and launched in 1980. The owner regularly sailed her until poor health led to her being laid up. She has been stored ashore for a number of years. The boat is being sold as a project to reflect the time and effort required to bring her back into use. This is hull number 3, sail number 2, Hull 1 was a prototype exhibited at Earl’s Court in 1977. She is fitted with a Volvo12hp petrol engine and a 2 bladed propeller. The boat is based in Alresford, Essex. The yard is part of a cooperative and storage whilst fitting out / refitting is available by negotiation. All services are provided by volunteers and if you choose to complete the fitout at the cooperative there is plenty of advice available and assistance with launching. She is a pretty boat with loads more life left in her. She would suit a practical person and would reward the time spent bringing her back to life. This could be achieved within a modest budget.
