HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
SHAMEEN designed and built by the highly respected Cheoy Lee Shipyard in Hong Kong in 1958. Shortly after being commissioned, she was sailed to Singapore before, in 1960 coming to Poole in Dorset in the ownership of R Y Frost of Canford Cliffs. In 1963 W G C Williams of Hayle in Cornwall purchased SHAMEEN keeping her in St Ives Harbour. A H Dallimore became the next registered owner moving the vessel to St Martin’s on the Isles of Scilly in 1970 and then to Oban in 1978 when he moved to Scotland. In new ownership following a comprehensive refit in 1999, SHAMEEN was sailed to the Med. Initially to Girona and later cruising the Costa Brava until 2010. Soon after SHAMEEN was back in UK waters and at Shoreham and later in Southampton where after a comprehensive survey, the present owner bought SHAMEEN in 2017 and has since carried out the surveyor’s recommendations.
