Grant - I'm sure you are the perfect owner to bring her back home. Go for it!

I don't think so Ben. Love Tarquol to much.

The owner of Fattam has been in touch with me, he's keen to sell.

One of us Fairey loons must surely be in a position to bring her home?

I'll come on the delivery trip as navigator.

Any interested party should get in touch with me.

Shortly to be listed with a UK broker.

I love it, fantastic boat, one of the coolest Fairey's ever.

A lottery win could make it a real fun project. . . . . . .

Maybe, but the best way of visualising the odds of winning the Lotto jackpot is like selecting a single minute out of 26 years and 7 months (not my calculation)

Correct Charles, that is why I don't bother with the National Lottery so the Amira project will never be mine.

Now listed with Adrian Nicolle.

That's only a haggle away from good Swordsman 33 money!

Well that looks pretty well sorted for its current use, the helm position looks excellent but I was surprised not to see any pictures of the accommodation.
Does anybody know is 'Point One' still around? Charles please confirm there were only two boats produced of that size? Also how many other stretched Swordsman were produced, and do they still exist. I obviously need to open Charles' coffee table book again!

CharlesL · Post by **CharlesL** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 6:45 am

Yes Paul, all records confirm there were only two Amiras.
The styling and interior were designed by Eddie Meayers, also responsible for the Super Swordsman

Of the larger Swordsman hulls:
The 38' Frolica has a rebuilt superstructure and is in service as a dive boat.
There are four 42 footers -
Point One, presently ashore
Barfin, with curious superstructure, is for sale
The elegant Hawaii with bespoke top is in service in Brittany
Gloriette, similar to Point One was in Cyprus, I suspect now lost.

Updates welcome, please

Hi Scott, following that clip came this excellent Fairey Marketinf film that has some excellent shots of Double Century and other interesting stuff. Somebody please add this to a list of Vids relevant to Fairey,
