Much sort after Swift 18 for sale. Designed by Colin Silvester in the early 80s as a French micro cup contender. The Swift 18 is unsinkable, self righting, with a lifting keel and good designed trailer sailor that can be trailered anywhere. Ideal for day sailing or weekends away. Lovely to sail!Bebop is in very good condition and has been lovingly cared for to bring her into the condition that she is today. She is kept currently on Hayling island on land so is a dry boat. Compound berth is also available at purchasers own cost and Chichester harbour fees paid until March 2017. This really is a lovely boat and much admired when she is out and about. Only lightly used and much cared for in recent years. Now needs a new home as a new boat has been purchased.Engine:Mariner 4hp 4 stroke engine that will take her to nearly 5 knots and is sited in a well rather on the transom, so totally protected. This is fully maintained and serviced each year. Starts second pull! Charging system was also fitted in 2009. I purchased a new three gallon tank and use fuel stabiliser every time its filled. High thrust prop fitted for better control and power. Flushed every time that she has been used.Trailer:Trailer is in very good condition. I have a special trailer hitch extension made which makes launching and recovery from a car very easy. New safety cable 2016. Bearing buddies fitted and flush system to wash out the hubs. New drums and bearing fitted 2015. Spare wheel, wheel clamp and hitch lock.
