Broker's Comments

The Swift 23 evolved from the popular Swift 18 designed by Colin Silvester. The 23 has a sugar scoop and hence a long waterline for a boat of this size; I would imagine she sails pretty well. The 23ft makes her much roomier than the Swift 18 with space for a proper galley and room to sleep 4 at a squeeze!
This one is a little sorry for itself and would benefit from a bit of TLC but this is reflected in the price. If you are looking for a budget lifting keel yacht with nice lines and decent performance this boat is well worth a look.
