BROKERS COMMENTS 

SAMSARA is a sturdy but beautifully contoured former Danish Hajkotter fishing vessel, which has been fully restored and is in very good condition - now almost as new. She has a wonderfully warm and authentic interior providing considerable space and comfort - well encapsulated within her strong framework and structure and designed to withstand whatever the weather might bring while exuding a beauty as well suited to calm waters. Substantial as she is, her well balanced and simply configured rig enables her to be sailed quite easily by 2 people. 

HISTORY 

Originally built in 1924 her first owner fisherman Jorgensen sailed her in the North and Baltic seas. During the 2nd World war she was used by the Marine. In 1961 she was bought by Skipper Larsen, the first of a number of owners to use her for her originally intended purpose of fishing. The last of those in 1976, Hendriksen named her Monica and sailed her for two years. After that she was neglected for some years until 1985, when the then new owner a ship’s carpenter took her to The Netherlands to rebuild her; a task that took him some 15 years. 

CONSTRUCTION 

Carvel built of 2 inch oak plank on oak frames with with deck of bankirai, the hull planking extends above deck level by some 60 cm to the gunwales. The superstructure is in American pine and furniture below a mix of pine and oak. Her spars are of solid larch and she has a fine complement of traditional and original blocks cheeked in ash. 

ACCOMMODATION AND DOMESTIC EQUIPMENT 

Accommodation is for 7 altogether arranged in 4 cabins, accessible from deck level by 3 separate hatchways / deckhouses. There is good headroom generally throughout the interior of around 6 ft 5 in / 1.95 m – in the galley exceeding 6 ft 10 in / 2.1 m, but less in the aft cabin at 5 ft 5 in / 1.65 m.

From aft, access is gained down steps to a cabin with double berth set athwartships, and substantial table. A companionway forward past the walk-in engine room, leads to the main cabin. That can also be accessed from the coach roof hatchway down companionway steps . There is a double berth / settee to port and 6 seater dining table with fixed bench seating outboard to starboard with ample stowage both sides and below.

Moving forward the companionway passes a separate large head compartment with authentic manual WC and pressure water shower - leading to the enclosed owners cabin with double berth and stowage to starboard with a pilot berth to port. There is hanging locker and other stowage and alternative access by steps up to a small protected deckhouse on the foredeck.

Coming aft back into the saloon reveals the substantial L shaped galley to starboard with 2 sq m oak worktop, copper sink with brass tap, four burner stove, electric oven, and 220 V Fridge.
