1978 Swift 33

The Swift 33 is a classic cruising sailboat with a distinctive deck salon layout, built in 1978 with a fiberglass hull. Known for balanced sailing characteristics and solid offshore capability, this example has been comprehensively upgraded while retaining the timeless design that defines the model. The boat measures 33 feet in length with a beam of just under 11 feet.

Power comes from a Volvo Penta D1-30 diesel engine with saildrive, delivering 27 horsepower with 551 hours on the engine. The boat cruises at 7 knots and reaches a maximum speed of 9 knots. Recent engine installation replaced the original powerplant with this more efficient modern unit, reducing maintenance demands while improving fuel economy and reliability.

The yacht accommodates one cabin with one head and offers comfortable interior space finished in classic style. The cockpit provides secure handling and confident control across varied sailing conditions. Recent upgrades include new standing rigging, new sails, a fresh electronics package, and exterior paint. The bottom received an epoxy barrier coat and fresh paint in October 2024. The interior and exterior are well-maintained throughout.
