The Seamaster 815 is a small cruising yacht with a simple but quite spacious interior. The design by Holman & Pye is attractive, and gives a much more modern profile than the chunky looks of Westerlys of the same era.I have owned Shikara for just over two years and due to work commitments have only managed to get out on her a couple of times.  She is a fantastic sailing yacht, the engine starts first time, the sails are only about 3 years old and are in excellent condition, there are five life jackets onboard and she also comes with a 5 person life raft.  She is currently in Liverpool Marina which is circa £260 a month for the berth.Please message me or call if you have any questions, I will try my best to help - Brian - 07572 472456.Shikara...

Seamaster Ltd. were one of the largest British boat builders in the 1960s and 1970s, building a wide range of motor and sailing yachts. Their early sailing yacht range were designed by Laurent Giles, featuring quite traditional looks, the boats being well known for strong construction.The Seamaster 815 was one of a newer range designed by Holman and Pye in 1975 with a much more modern style but retaining the Seamaster reputation for tough construction. It is a family cruising yacht, with a fin keels. They have a light and quite open interior, with maximum headroom of about 5' 10". The engine installed  is 12 hp.Seamaster 815s were in production from 1976 to 1981, when the Seamaster company ceased trading. A total of 136 Seamaster 815s were built.
The hulls are of moderate displacement, with enough sail area to give good performance. Interestingly, the Seamaster 815 is heavier than the slightly longer and beamier, but very similar looking, Moody 27. In February 2013 'Practical Boat Owner' magazine described the Seamaster 815 as ".... a tough and roomy little cruiser".
