The Sandpiper 565 Rendezvous is an event in August of each year where Sandpiper Owners gather together (Trailer-Sail). The Sandpiper Fleet gathers at a chosen location to enjoy a weekend of sailing. It's a great way to meet other Sandpiper Owners, see all the boats, and have a great fun time. Feel free to post your Stories and photos here.

The Sailfish Sailboat is kin to the Sandpiper 565 with the same hull design that was first designed by Leonardo da Costa Sayago (C. Eng, M.R.N.A.) in Southampton England on December 16, 1971 as a fast week-ender sailboat.

Another brother or Sister to the Sandpiper, but with a fixed keel and same basic hull design was the Ockelbo OS19. Designed by Leonardo de Costa from England and was produced in 1974 by Ockelbo Yachts, located in Sweden.
