HI I'm Matt. My wife, Julie, and I are the third owners of Sandbagger since she was new in 1990. She is a 28 foot fin keeled Westerly Merlin, built in the UK to Lloyds Specification and is a joy to sail. We have met both of the previous keepers and the last, from whom we bought her, tried to buy her back a couple of years ago - you don't get much better recommendation than that!

​

She is currently in Portsmouth Harbour and available to view by contacting Matthew direct by phone or email via the CONTACT PAGE.

​

She is in fabulous condition and has been serviced and antifouled in March this year with many recent upgrades that you can see on the ABOUT page.

​

We have sailed her to France, London and all along the south coast and she has looked after us well. Please browse the pictures in the gallery and check out THE VIDEO LINK to see what life aboard can be like.

​

Also, a while back, I created a Facebook page for our travels - but wasn't very good at updating it. However, if you click on the Facebook link at the bottom of each page, you can see some more pictures of our escapades.

​

Thanks very much for looking.

​

Matt
