Wooden Ships Comments on this Uffa Fox Swordfish sailing dinghy
The Uffa Fox designed Swordfish was the fore runner to the Albacore built by Fairey Marine in 1957 in 3 ply Agba veneers, fitted with a steel centre plate giving good stability.
Maintained to an exceptionally high standard, fully equipped and ready to race with a Portsmouth Yardstick of 1117, or cruise with Swallows & Amazons. The boat will readily plane in a fresh breeze at well over 10 knots and has high stability because of its weight. Keep this boat covered and well maintained and she will last another 50 years.
Complete with a racing rig, road trailer, covers and everything else required to go sailing.
