Description
Sandpiper is a true blue water sailboat, designed for comfort and capability whether you’re cruising the coast or heading offshore. She stands out with a layout rarely seen on boats of her size. Forward, you’ll find a very large forepeak salon/dinette, offering exceptional space and versatility. The dinette comfortably seats up to seven people for meals or socializing and converts easily into a generous double berth, perfect for guests or extended cruising.
Amidships to starboard is a well-equipped galley, featuring a three-burner stove with oven, refrigerator, double sinks, and plenty of storage—ideal for preparing meals underway or at anchor. Across from the galley is the head compartment, and just aft is the private master cabin, which includes a custom innerspring mattress and private head access (note: sliding door is missing).
Aft to starboard, you’ll find the navigation station, conveniently located at the head of the guest quarter berth, providing an efficient space for chart work and electronics.
On deck, Sandpiper features a large cockpit over eight feet long, with a footwell and taffrail. A raised helm seat offers excellent visibility over the cabin top, making sailing and docking easier and safer.
Recent Upgrades & Maintenance (2025):
- Brand new cockpit cushions
- New salon/dinette cushions, still wrapped in plastic
- New mainsail cover
- New dodger, bimini, and full enclosure for excellent protection and comfort in all weather
- New hatch covers on deck
- Bottom job with fresh paint completed in January 2025
- AC system professionally cleaned and flushed with fresh water — works great
Sandpiper is a comfortable, thoughtfully laid-out blue water cruiser with significant recent upgrades, making her ready for your next adventure. Whether you’re looking for a weekend getaway, a liveaboard lifestyle, or serious offshore cruising, Sandpiper is an excellent choice.
- Sandpiper features a layout not seen in many boats with a very large forepeak salon / dinette. You could easily seat 7 for a meal and later convert the dinette to a good sized double berth.

Across from the galley is the head compartment and aft of the head is the master cabin with a custom innerspring mattress (missing the sliding door) with a private entrance to the head. Aft to starboard is the nav station at the head of the guest quarter-berth. On deck she has a large cockpit (over eight feet long) with a footwell and a taffrail.
