1983 Fin Keeled Masthead Sloop Yacht with Skeg Rudder. designed by Bill Dixon and built by A.H Moody & Sons.
SAMPHIRE is a nicely presented example of this ever popular cruising yacht that has been under her current ownership for the past 14 years. She is currently lying ashore in Weymouth and due to relaunch 14th April.
Highlights include, but are not limited to new Standing Rigging in 2023 and new Sails in 2017.
Hull survey carried out April 2025 - no issues.
Broker's view: "Samphire is a well presented example of this well regarded Bill Dixon Yacht. She is stored ashore during the winter and looks to be in good condition. It would be wise to take advantage of her being out of the water for an early inspection."
