The kind of little ship one might have dreamed of when browsing the pages of The Rudder magazine, SANDPIPER is living, breathing, beautiful and practical testimony to two of the leading personalities of the ‘wooden boat revival’ that happened around them in the 1970s, Bud McIntosh-trained boatbuilder, Gordon Swift,, and pioneering broker and 'boat maker', Bill Page, her first owner. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/713/winthrop-warner-35-ft-bermudan-ketch-1979 Presently owned by one of that movement’s earliest alumni and major, hands-on grassroots evangelists, Donn Costanzo, SANDPIPER has led a blessed life, pampered and enjoyed by four owners who have given her whatever she has required; so well and lovingly was she built that she has never had or needed a restoration. In her design that could only be American, Winthrop L. Warner achieved perhaps the perfect blend of moderation and comfort in the hull with powerful but manageable adventure in her ample ketch rig. SANDPIPER is truly an American dreamship.

Sadly the shop closed in early 2018 after serving the boating community of North Wales from Conwy Marina for more than 20 years. Let this video be a reminder no matter how good you are at keeping a marine shop stocked, sometimes things go against you, and it is time to move on. Let's dedicate the video to all the staff who worked hard to make this place work over the years. We had lots of fun. I could write a book! (Rob Woodward).
