Swordsman 30 (łódź motorowa) - sprzedaż

SummaryClassic British Design | Single Cummins 370HP | Hamilton Waterjet | Extensive 2026 Refit

There are few British motor launches that combine timeless styling, exhilarating performance and genuine practicality as successfully as the Swordsman 30. Inspired by the iconic Fairey Spearfish and beautifully built by Swordsman Marine, these distinctive launches have earned a loyal following amongst owners seeking classic elegance with the reliability and lower maintenance of modern GRP construction.

MATCHLESS is an outstanding example. Built in 2004 and powered by the sought-after single Cummins 370HP diesel driving a Hamilton waterjet, she delivers impressive performance, exceptional manoeuvrability and the confidence to explore shallow estuaries and anchorages beyond the reach of many conventional shaft-driven craft.

During 2026 she has undergone an extensive programme of professional refurbishment at Hamble Point Marina. Significant mechanical works have been carried out by authorised Cummins engineers, complemented by comprehensive cosmetic and interior improvements throughout the vessel. This investment builds upon a history of careful ownership, including replacement of the teak ring deck in 2017, and leaves MATCHLESS presented to an exceptional standard throughout. The result is a beautifully presented Swordsman 30 that offers her next owner the reassurance of substantial recent investment together with one of the most distinctive and capable launches in her class.

Privately owned, UK Part 1 Registered and, UK VAT paid, MATCHLESS is offered ready for immediate cruising.

2026 Refit & Improvements

Mechanical works carried out during the 2026 refurbishment included extensive work by authorised Cummins engineers together with a service of the Hamilton HJ274 waterjet in May/June 2026, including inspection of the cutless bearing, which was found to be serviceable.

Mechanical works carried out by authorised Cummins engineers included installation of a new turbocharger, comprehensive engine refurbishment and refinishing, aftercooler service, replacement engine-to-shaft coupling, renewed exhaust system components, replacement cooling and fuel hoses, new Ritchie compass and engine instruments, new engine bay sound insulation, updated engine wiring where required, new engine bay lighting, renewed bilge pump installation and a full engine service. Together these works represent a significant investment in both reliability and presentation.

Alongside the mechanical refurbishment, the vessel has also benefited from extensive cosmetic improvements including professional GRP repairs, refurbishment of exterior timberwork, companionway joinery and helm wheel, replacement helm seats, new compass, renewed interior linings, replacement lighting and cockpit speakers, refurbished air scoops, teak treatment, comprehensive valeting and numerous detail improvements throughout the accommodation and cockpit.

Swordsman Marine - The Legend Continues

Founded to continue the traditions of classic British offshore motor yachts, Swordsman Marine drew upon the celebrated Fairey Spearfish, one of the most admired powerboat designs of the 1960s.

Designed by renowned naval architect Alan Burnard, the original Spearfish earned an enviable reputation for its sea-keeping, performance and elegant proportions, attracting owners including Sir Max Aitken, Tommy Sopwith and actress Deborah Kerr, while also featuring in the James Bond film From Russia with Love.
Today, the Swordsman Marine Swordsman 30 faithfully carries that heritage forward, combining the proven deep-V hull with modern construction, contemporary engineering and practical cruising accommodation to create one of Britain's most distinctive gentleman's motor yachts.
