The honest cost of getting Samphire ready

Buying an older yacht is only the beginning. This section records the developing cost and decision story behind maintaining, upgrading and preparing Samphire for longer voyages.

Working data notice

Working data notice
These figures are drawn from the records identified so far and are published to show the emerging scale and structure of the project. They remain subject to manual reconciliation, removal of duplicates, allocation of ambiguous entries and confirmation of whether some costs overlap between registers. They should therefore be read as provisional working figures rather than a final audited total.

Overlap warning: The current-project expenditure total and the annual ownership-cost register are still being reconciled to identify overlap and avoid double-counting. Until that process is complete, figures from these pages should not simply be added together.

How costs are separated

• Historic Samingo II restoration: provenance only, excluded from Chris-paid spend.
• Acquisition and baseline.
• Current refit and preparation.
• Routine ownership/running costs.
• Voyage-specific costs.
• Items requiring review.
