Low engine hours
Excellent Condition
Developed from the Fairey Marine and James Bond stable, this Swordsman 40 is ideal for taking some overdue holiday. She is presented in excellent condition and is powered by twin Cummins six-cylinder 480hp turbo diesel marine engines.
The Swordsman 40 uses the GRP Fairey 'Dagger' hull design which was originally a military boat also used by customs and police. The seakeeping shape of the immensely strong hull is highly respected for boats of this size giving very comfortable passage making.
Her aft cabin superstructure designed by Alan Burnard the renowned Fairey Marine naval architect gives this Swordsman 40 pleasing classical lines. She sleeps six in a large aft ensuite double, a convertible U-shaped saloon, and a forward V berth with an additional day head.
Navigation equipment by Raymarine includes Axiom GPS chart plotter, autopilot, depth, log, wind instrument, and DSC VHF radio.
The deck of this Swordsman 40 is complemented by a stainless steel and teak bathing platform with davits, fender baskets and ladder. Anchor equipment includes a Lofrans electric windlass. She has canvas work for all seasons which includes a sprayhood and full cockpit tent.

Brokers' Comments
In 2002, Adrian Nicolle, was the first purchaser of a GRP Swordsman and have since sold many of these boats; Our brokerage and maintenance business has also supported many owners of these boats over the last 20 years from our Hamble Point Marina base (original home of Fairey Marine) which means that we have extensive knowledge of the operation and maintenance of these craft and are able to help buyers and owners in every respect.
The Fairey "Dagger" hull provides excellent sea keeping as recognised by this Swordsman 40's RCD Category B Offshore certification - A boat given category B is considered to be designed to operate in winds up to force 8 (Beaufort scale) and the associated wave heights (significant wave heights up to and including 4m).
Of all the Swordsman variants this is by far the best option with the benefit of a large cockpit for entertaining and is the most economical to maintain and operate of the Swordsman 40 motor yachts.
