"The Legend Rekindled"
The most sought-after power boat of the 1960s was undoubtedly the Fairey Boat. A list of owners sounds like a who's who of one of the most exciting and innovative decades of British design; Sir Max and Lady Violet Aitken, Tommy Sopwith, actress Deborah Kerr, band-leader Billy Cotton and many others all owned at least one and a number of Fairey boats featured in the James Bond film "From Russia With Love".
Fairey boats combined comfort with spacious accommodation; a renowned seaworthiness with handling qualities second to none; and delivered performance, courtesy of the deep-V planing hull, such that the cruiser classes of numerous Cowes-Torquay and London-Monte Carlo races were successfully campaigned by Fairey boats.
Fairey Marine's designer was Alan Burnard, and today his proven hull design from the Fairey Spearfish forms the basis of the Swordsman 30.
