Barney Sandeman: A yacht broker’s view of yacht sales

Five grand and a tender: The yacht broker Barney Sandeman discusses his love of classics, and the way of yacht sales.

About barney.

If you didn’t know who Barney was, you’d mistake him for a surfer, with his long blonde hair, blue eyes, tan and laid-back apparel. If you’ve been around classics long enough, you’ll have come across him somewhere, either in Britain or at the big regattas, as he’s trodden the waterfronts of many a far-flung location, like the Antigua classic   or the French ‘voiles’. Despite the surfer looks, he’s a pretty big name in boat brokerage, and has sold hundreds of classics over the years, including some of the most famous yachts in the world, like Fife’s schooner Altair. His brokerage, Sandeman Yacht Company, is based in the pretty old part of Poole in Dorset, just a few hundred yards from the sea, and from the front, it looks like a nice, well-kept old shop. It’s home to Barney (literally – he lives above), and, in working hours, to his partner in crime, Iain McAllister, a yacht-obsessed Scotsman whose great grandfather raced in the America’s Cup in 1887 aboard Thistle .

Barney grew up in Dorset, racing Cadets, Lasers and more in Poole Harbour. Although not “tactically astute enough” (he smiles here) to race in the Olympics, he was in the squad once, and has won national and European championships. After A Levels in the early 80s, he “ran away to sea” as a deckhand on a large Swan and was in St Martin when Bob Dylan’s schooner Water Pearl sailed in. This was an era just before the classics scene had got going, and seeing “something natural” like that sail in made a real impression. And before that, his mother was friends with the then-owners of the Fred Parker motor yacht Caramba (recently restored and featured in this magazine), and to this day, Barney refuses to sneer at a motorboat – “if it’s a lovely boat, then you’re out on a lovely boat” is his take. After a spell working in his father’s advertising company, Barney decided that if he was going to sell something, it had better be something he loved, and this brought him back to sailing, and after five or six years as a yacht broker, he set up Sandeman Yacht Company in 2004, specifically to sell classic yachts .

Buying and selling yachts

By this point, the present day had arrived, and sailing had changed: the marinas, once forests of masts bustling with activity as families would load up their yachts on a Friday night for a long weekend of sailing, had become quiet lowlands of large, white motorboats. But on a brighter note, the classics scene was well underway. In most ways, not much has changed since then. It’s still “heart over mind.” In terms of buyers, Barney doesn’t see many time-wasters, apart from the occasional late-night, wine-fuelled email of enquiry. “You can’t talk someone into buying a classic. You’ve got to want one already – it’s almost like it’s in your genes. There are so many things that can stop someone buying. Circumstances, weather, the ability to afford it… buying a yacht is the ultimate luxury… so it takes a real momentum to get over the line. It takes a pretty special person.” The good news is that this moment of lunacy is seldom regretted. Even the man who, after a quick Day Skipper course and without any ownership experience, bought a 60ft, twin-engined Silver motor yacht from the 1950s and motored it from Livorno to Cyprus with his son – albeit helped by having boatbuilder Will Stirling on board.

Barney is equally moved by those selling what is, for them, a family member. Someone might have owned a yacht for half a century, and when that happens, it’s not the boat they’re selling; it’s the memories. Aside from the history and beauty of the boats and the great zeal of those buying them, there is a standard process to observe, which starts with a first visit to the boat by Barney and the potential buyer. Sandeman Yacht Company is signed up to the Association of Brokers and Yacht Agents ( ABYA ), the standard bearer, whose rules stipulate – among other things – that offers are made subject to survey and sea trial. This was a source of some irritation to the famous Italian character Mario Pirri, who from the 1970s owned the fabulous 70ft, 1930s Fife yawl Latifa. “If you’re sat in a bar and you see a beautiful woman, you don’t ask for a structural survey before you sleep with her,” he appealed. The survey, which took three of four days, was nevertheless completed and the boat was sold. 

It’s not all easy sailing. “Honestly,” Barney sighs with a smile. “If I ever write a book, which no one will read, I’m calling it Five Grand and a Dinghy because every yacht sale seems to come down to the last £5,000 – and the tender!” Is it because the tender is a keepsake of a lost love, you might wonder? “No! It’s usually simpler than that. It’s like the light fittings in a house sale. I’ve had people spending more than £100k on a boat asking whether the outboard is included with the tender! There was one occasion where the owner spirited the tender away to the south of France after the sale. I had it brought back to the rightful owner – the new buyer – in a lorry!” 

If there’s one thing that upsets Barney, it’s the go-faster mania that has infected some classic fleets, particularly those racing under IRC, which frequently sport rules-friendly tall, high-aspect rigs, modern deck gear and sails of dubious colour. “We have a lot to learn from the car world,” he says. “If you turned up to Goodwood Revival in a Healey with a spoiler, you’d be laughed out of town. The irony is that on many of these suped-up yachts, you’ll see an old Beken photo below decks, showing what she looked like when launched. These modernised classics are in danger of losing the magic and just being slow, old boats. Keep them original, or as authentic as possible as they do in the Med under CIM rules, and they will be happier boats. They will sing, and people will be inspired, and stop to gaze when they see them.”

DIRIGO II – The voyage home

The magnificent John G Alden schooner DIRIGO II has been no stranger to major voyages over the years. The most recent epic began in March 2019 in the San Juans, Washington State, and continues now in the land of her birth, Maine, having transited Panama Canal.

[Penned on behalf of the extended Lohrey Family including their trusty sea cats, Saoirse and Roisin, by Captain Arthur Lohrey, present Owner/Steward of the DIRIGO II.]

Following the five month restore/refit of the 1939, 60ft Alden Schooner DIRIGO II by the Lohrey family and a capable Ensenada boatyard, the very next day after the subsequent challenging sail up the West Coast to her berth in the San Juan Islands, Washington, DIRIGO II had a visitor walk down the dock. Recognizing her rig from the ferry deck, he turned out to be the son of James W. Crawford, who had set out on a round the World voyage on DIRIGO II back in the 1960’s, met his soon to be wife in Tahiti, and continued the voyage as a family.

Fast forward nine years to 2019, opposite side of the continent, and another son sees DIRIGO II. He hops on a launch out to our mooring during the Camden Cup Regatta, Maine, to welcome us home, and informs us amongst many interesting tit bits that his sister was actually born onboard!

Comparing stories and beautiful coincidences I told him that I had indeed met my beautiful Irish wife whilst in Mexico, similar situation with his father, after deciding to continue the leg of the voyage from the Pacific Northwest to warmer climates.

Needles in the haystacks! People come; people go: owners, family, guests and crew. The heavens pass over the rig and the seas pass under the keel.

Boats are like magic carpets, but good boats, built properly, designed with knowledge and experience and taken care of, give the longest rides and without a doubt, exceptional, never to be forgotten life experiences. DIRIGO II is definitely one of them, designed specifically for ocean travel, she does it well and keeps her crew safe.

DIRIGO II under my stewardship sailed out the Straits of Juan de Fuca in October of 2017 and pointed her bow south. Laura and I met, the second day after anchoring off the beach in Cabo San Lucas. We decided to “come alongside” and continued to explore the Sea of Cortez together.

We discovered what they meant when they said it would be “hot” in the summer! Too hot for us and the boat as it turned out, so it was either sail back up the west coast of the USA again or set a new course.

We decided together as a family that it was time to take the DIRIGO II home and find a land-based home for us. She was built in East Boothbay Maine. We wished to experience the voyage, as our last turn to ride the magic carpet before turning her over (better than we found her) to the next proud, happy, and capable owner/steward. Our ultimate goal being to find a small cottage in Ireland to “drop our hook”.

We hauled her, painted, serviced, provisioned, fuelled her, and set sail from La Paz Mexico on March 6th of this year. Sons, daughters, grand kids, friends and crew came and went. We were voyaging. Our two black cat sisters, we call them the Irish Rebels, turned out to be great crewmates and night watch companions! Whilst a little rum soothed our ruffled feathers on days that were demanding, this pair would box it out high on the gaff of the mains’l.

Our course took us down the west coast of Mexico, Guatamala, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica to Panama, through the locks of the Canal and north to Isla Providencia, Cayman, Florida, South Carolina, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and onto Maine.

Like any voyage or plan, ours was “multi-faceted”: brilliant days under sail; calm, starry nights; scary stormy green water over the bow; storms and torrential drenching squalls; bugs; repairs; warm ocean swims; beautiful deserted beaches; unheard of islands; whales under the bow; dolphins galore; sea birds hitching rides in the rig; crocodiles in the mangroves; boredom; excitement – and a bit of holy s***; good crew; funky crew; nips of tequila; the horror of the lukewarm beer and delight of the odd ice cold one; paperwork; foreign authorities; constant re-provisioning; jerry cans; laundry; fractured ribs; broken teeth and the emergency extraction; lovely, friendly, helpful people intertwined with the sullen and unhelpful; sunrises and sunsets to die for; necessary, delightful, peaceful nights ashore on a flat, real bed here and there.

All of this and more. So much more. And through it all, our voyage and others before, DIRIGO II is the thread. The Constant and the Stage; the Place; the Venue. Like an old house filled with memories of times gone by and those who have passed through not her halls in this case, but above and below her decks. The smell of brewing coffee, hot scones and the people all a part of the magic whilst aboard.

A taut sheet, a cozy berth, a safe anchorage, a solid ship, a successful voyage, dreamed of and taken. Wouldn’t change a thing, the whole is made of all the parts. Feels good to have brought her home and feels right to be here in this beautiful location, Maine, New England.

DIRIGO is Latin for ” the Leader ” or ” Lead the way”. Upon her launch in 1939, all those years ago, the Governor of Maine presented her with the state pennant of the same. We proudly flew that on our voyage here and are still flying it. It couldn’t have been presented to a more worthy vessel. Not only has she returned home but she brought us all here “leading the way” safely.

It feels good to look forward to the next leg, our next adventure but on land this time. We very much hope the next owner/steward and family appreciate and enjoy her as much as we did, take good care of her and write their own chapter of this ongoing book.

DIRIGO II is worth it, she makes magic. The voyage continues for us all.

P.S. We are taking the cats with us, that is IF they want to jump ship with us because as you know felines do as they wish…time will tell…watch this space….

Born into an aristocratic air of racy intrigue, SUMURUN’s charms have wooed a select band of suitors since her launch at Fairlie. A legend in many lifetimes, SUMURUN is one of the most exquisite of William Fife’s large ‘fast cruisers’. For almost 110 years this 94ft ketch, formerly yawl, has been in commission and loved, most recently by the current owner who treated SUMURUN to a major 2017-2019 refit at Chantier du Guip. Return to classic racing late in 2019 was triumphant, with victory at Saint-Tropez. Rigged as a bermudan ketch since 1935, this handy configuration was retained but brought subtly up to date by Juan Kouyoumdjian. Under it, SUMURUN is perhaps consistently faster than ever, yet retains the ability to cross oceans comfortably; something she has quite a reputation for. “Form is temporary; class is permanent.”
