Reluctant sale of our beautiful Swift 18 to fund an Atlantic crossing purchase!
Before you read further our boat is in France! (I could however tow it to a ferry port on an agreed price).
Built 1983 by Swiftcraft for the French Micro-Cup series. The 'unsinkable' pocket sailing cruiser/racer on a trailer for sea or lake. British registered on Part 1 Small Ships Register.
We have sailed her in the English Channel, local lakes and Mediterranean Sea (including this September). She is fully equipped for the sea, in superb condition, maintained regardless of cost and is ready to go.
