Samphire 23s - Samphire 26s - Samphire 29s

The tables below set out Samphire yachts which are known to the Association in some way. If you know of others, or can add to (or correct) the details shown, then please contact us via the e-mail address given at the bottom of the home page. If your name appears here and you'd rather it didn't, just let us know - we'll be happy to remove it.

Details given in brackets are those last known, but which may well now have changed. Note that many of these boats have been identified via current or past advertisements for sale, hence the disproportionately high number of boats shown which are currently for sale. (Go to the Marketplace page of this web-site, via the link above, to see some current ads.)

This website is under development, and has been produced by a small group of Samphire owners to share knowledge and promote interest in these craft. We hope to formally set up a Samphire Owners' Association shortly, and would be pleased to hear from other Samphire owners, or anyone else who has knowledge of or interest in these boats. See Home page for contact details.
