The little known Samphire 29 was the largest of the Samphires built. She offers very versatile accommodation with the kids bedroom/aft cabin, meaning the rest of the boat is then left for the adults. She is a capable sailing yacht with a decent sized beam and a higher coachroof than most other yachts of her era giving resonable headroom. Very few were built due to their solid build which made them highly priced.

Broker's Comments

These boat details are subject to contract.
This Samphire 29 sailing boat is presented for sale in good order throughout. She is a tough coastal cruiser, solidly built and safe and would make a good first time family boat or suit a couple well.
Samphires are reknown for their sturdiness so if you want a more classic sailing yacht this one is worth a look. The current owner has used her well in the last 15 years recently returning from sailing her on the coasts of Norway and Sweden.
