1975 Custom Built Sailboat Description

1975 Sampson Custom Designed 46ft Yacht Sailboat, approximately 100 hours on new engine, original hours unknown.

We have been living aboard for quite a few years, and recently have moved back ashore. I have owned and continually up-graded this boat since 1986. If you or someone you know are looking for a safe, dry, comfortable, competent live aboard and blue water passage maker, this is the one.

Waterfront living, at it is best! Not only do my husband and I enjoy sailing and getting out on excursions, we have enjoyed the atmosphere of marina living. Whether or not you plan to live-aboard, you will find this boat to be a safe and no worry way to travel the waters.
