Fairey Super Swordsman 33 Project

"Charleston" was built by Fairey Marine in 1972, she was exhibited at the London boat show in that year.In 1982 she was purchased by Peter D'Savary and underwent a complete face lift by Berthons in Lymington.Peter D'Savary challenged for the Americas cup in 1983 with a yacht called "Victory 83", "Charleston" was taken to the US, and was used as the crew support vessel during the challenge, "Victory 83" was unsuccessful, and "Charleston" was sold to new owners in the US. She was discovered some years ago in Florida in a delapidated condition, purchased and shipped back to Alderney where restoration commenced, but her new owner "gave up", she sat ashore in Alderney until I purchased her some 3 years ago.A new cockpit floor frame has been installed together with teak faced floor panels.A full set of original windows have been purchased, new engine side/vent panels, and a new steering/instrument pod have been made.The engines were removed by the previous owner and are longer available.The windscreen was lost by the transporters.She can be stored in her current location, her shipping cradle is included in the sale. Due to a change of plans, I have decided to find a new owner.I have other pictures if required.She is lying in a secure yard near Axminster.Please call phone for further information.Payment by bank transfer or cash on collection only.
