Description
The Swarbrick S97 is a strong choice for club racing thanks to its responsive handling, light displacement, and efficient sail plan tailored for Australian conditions. Designed by Kim Swarbrick, it features a tall rig and deep lead keel for excellent upwind performance. Its GRP foam-core construction offers a stiff, durable hull, enhancing speed and responsiveness. Many S97s come race-ready with quality gear like Harken winches and updated electronics. With a competitive IRC rating and proven race history, it’s ideal for sailors wanting an affordable, well-balanced yacht that’s fast, fun, and capable of winning in club or offshore events.MechanicalVolvo 2002 18hpHours unknownSail driveSail drive seal last replaced - plus 7 years2 bladed folding propElectrical2 x 12 v batteries - require replacingShorepower leadNavigationCockpitChartplotter - Raymarine Hybrid TouchTiller pilot - Raymarine i SeriesSpeed - Raymarine i SeriesDepth - Raymarine i SeriesCompassChart tableVHF/DSC - Standard Horizon GX2000Sails, Spars and RiggingFractional rig – Offers better control over mainsail shape and easier depowering in gusty conditions.Aluminium mast & boomDeck-stepped with swept-back spreaders, reducing the need for running backstays and simplifying tuning.Adjustable backstay Boom vang Standing rigging - plus 10 yearsRunning rigging - requires cleaning/ replacementSlab reefing mainFurling headsail - Seldon2 x spinnaker polesSails - All from 2015 by Quantum but due to circumstances hardly usedMain Genoa Code ZeroAsymmetric SpinnakerSet up for 2 handed racing with IRC certificateUses Furling headsail rule for ease of sailing 2 handedInterior & Domestic6 berths in 2 cabins plus saloon1 x heads with holding tankPressurised cold waterGalley with gas grill and 2 ring burnerSinkFridgeFusion stereo with speakersDeckTiller steeringGRP deck - painted and in need of a repaintOpen transomAluminium toe railsPushpit and pullpit cornersGuardwires and stanchions - currently removedFull width cockpit mainsheet traveller2 x Anderson 28 ST coachroof winches2 x Anderson 40 ST cockpit winches2 x Anderson 40 spinnaker winchesBoarding ladderSugarscoop transom SafetyEpirb - requires servicingManual bilge pumpCanvasStackpackDocumentationEvidence of 5 years clear title - transfer document to current owner - 2011Evidence of UK VAT status - 2014 import documentsRCD status - this yacht is being offered for sale for racing only and has no RCD certificate**a post construction assessment (PCA) would be required to be carried out if you intended to use the yacht for cruising
