Fairey Swordsman 33 Aft Cabin 1969 - Sold

A classic powerboat indeed; elegant from a fine pedigree, including the successful Huntsman 28 and 31 - and Swordsmen themselves achieving fine performances on the international power boat racing circuit as thoroughbreds in their own right. The Swordsman came as either open cockpit or aft cabin versions and was also available in kit form or as a hull only.
SURFRENZY, one of just fifty five Swordsman 33 ft hulls, has full Fairey Marine provenance and only 3 owners from new. As the Mk II model with raised aft deck her aft cabin gained standing head room and a head. She exhibits all the hallmarks of elegant design, solid construction and legendary sea-keeping and handling.
An extremely well presented example of her class – new engines in 2002, her current owner has not only made her cosmetically impressive but has focussed on making SURFRENZY totally ready and useful as a fine family weekender - not just a classic for show !
