BROKER'S COMMENTS The Fairey Super Swordsman remains one of the most respected and desirable classic British motor yachts ever produced. Designed to deliver outstanding offshore performance whilst maintaining elegant lines and comfortable accommodation, the model has developed a loyal following amongst classic boat enthusiasts and experienced cruising owners alike. APOLLYON is particularly notable for her provenance, having had only two owners from new, including previous ownership by Lord Clinton. She remains substantially original throughout and presents as an honest, unspoilt example of a design that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in such authentic condition. Powered by twin Perkins Sabre M225Ti diesel engines driving conventional shafts, she benefits from straightforward engineering, dependable performance and excellent access for maintenance. Whilst many classic motor yachts have been extensively altered over the years, APOLLYON retains much of the character and charm that made the Super Swordsman such a success. Her traditional aft cabin layout provides comfortable accommodation for extended cruising, while her renowned Fairey hull continues to offer the sea-keeping qualities for which the marque became famous. For buyers seeking a genuine classic motor yacht with pedigree, character and proven cruising credentials, APOLLYON represents a rare opportunity.
