Having the right family background is crucial to proper development, as we all know. Not to be out done in that regard, the Canadian Sandpiper 565 boasts proudly of European ancestory. As a sophisticated, well mannered sailboat, she traces her roots back to a quality-oriented design/production shop in England. There, in the 1970s, Maxim Marine built two similarly-styled small cruisers, the Sailfish 18 and 25, penned by Angus Primrose. Now, years later, these boats have taken their rightful place in the Piper family tree as the CL Sandpiper 565's cousin and wild uncle ...every family's gotta have one ...right?
