Fairey Boats Spearfish for sale in Plymouth United Kingdom

Based on the hull of the iconic wooden Huntsman 31 which was well proven in its performance, sea keeping qualities and appearance, this GRP hulled Fairey Spearfish which is Hull No. 2  is an ideal weekender.

Described as probably the prettiest individual Fairey ever produced, she is unique in that she was produced with a GRP hull and wooden superstructure which retains the charm of the wooden Faireys while benefiting from the preferred "peace of mind" GRP hull.

With a new deck in 2011/12 and more recent repaint she really must be seen.

Powered by 2 x 210hp Ford Sabre Turbo diesels through Borg Warner 72c hydraulic direct drive gear boxes she benefits from electric Windlass, SPQR and stainless steel anchors, Tonneau cover and Spray hood, Bow thruster, Life raft,  Chart plotter , DSC VHF and Autopilot

Her aft cockpit is ideal for entertaining and she is perfectly capable of long passages if required. Alternatively she is the ideal sailors boat for the Solent and turns heads wherever she goes.
