Comments
ASTERIX is hull number 7 she was built for one of the directors of Swordsman Marine and
has been fitted out to a high specification level. She was used as Swordsman Marine’s
demonstrator and show boat for her first two seasons and so maintained to a very high
standard.
ASTERIX is privately owned the pressures of work and young family mean she has not
seen a great deal of use as witnessed by the engine hours. Viewing can be arranged at
your convenience contact Transworld Yachts Sailing Ltd at Hamble Point Marina on +44

Swordsman Marine - "The Legend Rekindled"
The most sought-after power boat of the 1960s was undoubtedly the Fairey Boat. A list of owners sounds like a
who's who of one of the most exciting and innovative decades of British design – Sir Max and Lady Violet Aitken, Tommy Sopwith, actress Deborah Kerr, bandleader Billy Cotton and many others all owned at least one.
And a number of Fairey boats featured in the James Bond film "From Russia With Love".
Fairey boats combined comfort with spacious accommodation; a renowned seaworthiness with handling qualities second to none; and delivered performance, courtesy of the deep-V planing hull, such that the cruiser
classes of numerous Cowes-Torquay and London-Monte Carlo races were successfully campaigned by Fairey
boats.
Fairey Marine's designer was Alan Burnard, and today it is two of his proven designs, the Spearfish and the
Dagger that forms the basis of Swordsman Marine's boats.
