This 1973 Fairey Super Swordsman 33 is a classic British motor yacht built using Fairey Marine's signature hot-moulded construction. She is powered by twin Perkins Sabre diesel engines delivering 450 horsepower, with a cruising speed of 17 knots and maximum speed of 27 knots. The hull design is renowned for its sea-keeping ability and has been maintained to remain substantially original to her 1973 specification.
The yacht accommodates four guests across two cabins and features two heads. The traditional aft cabin layout provides comfortable spaces for extended cruising, with straightforward engineering throughout that allows for accessible maintenance and dependable performance.
Recent service work includes engine servicing completed in February 2026 and antifouling work carried out in March 2026. The yacht has had only two previous owners since construction and remains an honest, unspoilt example of the design, retaining much of the character and charm that defined the Super Swordsman series.
