Title: Custom 1972 Ferrocement Ketch Expanded detail: Sandpiper is a custom-built, Samson adaptation of the famous Sparkman Stephens ocean racer Finisterre, incorporating Annapolis racer-cruiser innovation and traditional Skipjack lines.
Built by a NASA engineer at Middle River, MD, USA in 1972, her 12 tonne displacement puts her 5 tonnes lighter than the original wooden hull she was based on.
Her strength comes well-tested by extensive cruising, and she has been carefully maintained with five haul outs over the past fifteen years.
Presently docked in New Bern NC.
Sandpiper is fitted-out for liveaboard life in the tropics.
Having never left Chesapeake before 2005, she was campaigned to the Caribbean Islands in 2010-15, and has been found to be ideally suited as a cruiser live-aboard, with roomy headroom (6ft throughout), and airy living quarters.
Her 4ft shoal draft with the (5ft) centreboard up (9 when down) allows her to explore local creeks, rivers and inlets unavailable to other boats.
We have upgraded the systems for blue-water cruising, having lived-aboard along the US east coast and Caribbean destinations.
Sandpiper has been lovingly maintained and upgraded throughout our nineteen years of ownership - we have worked on her regularly and have recently finished a comprehensive refit with many upgrades.
Most of all, we want her to be loved, so we are looking for the right price for the right owner's budget.
Her accommodations are simple.
Aft, there's a navigation station to starboard and an aft pipe-berth.
The galley is to port with a Force 10 safety-rated propane stove, large ice box/fridge, and plenty of space and storage.
Her main saloon includes port and starboard settees with a table, and pilot/pullman berths port and stbd, and further storage outboard to port and starboard.
The head is abaft, to starboard.
The forepeak has a double berth to port, and storage for storm rodes, drogue and chain.
There's additional storage forward for anchor rodes, etc and further storage (under the cockpit) contains tools and spares, snorkel and fishing gear.
Engine is easily accessible from front, rear and top.
