3 Cabin/ 3 head catamaran, custom designed by Nigel Irens for luxury crewed charter.
Old world charm best describes this uniquely appealing vessel -- SANDPIPER is a twin mast sailing
catamaran, a unique 19.5m (65ft) schooner. She was conceived as a ‘classic catamaran’, her
architecture is based on the Wharram design, a catamaran style from Polynesia, with improved
construction design and style.
The sails are gaff-rigged giving her elegance and power and
together with state of the art navigation and entertainment systems, this yacht is both modern
and classic.
A fast (easily attaining 10 kts) and comfortable long distance cruiser, this yacht is capable of
serious offshore sailing and equipped with every imaginable commodity for high end overnight
and day charters. Because of her shallow draft she can be beached easily or can tuck into small
romantic anchorages anywhere in the world.
