Description

The Swarbrick S97 is a strong choice for club racing thanks to its responsive handling, light displacement, and efficient sail plan tailored for Australian conditions. Designed by Kim Swarbrick, it features a tall rig and deep lead keel for excellent upwind performance. Its GRP foam-core construction offers a stiff, durable hull, enhancing speed and responsiveness. Many S97s come race-ready with quality gear like Harken winches and updated electronics. With a competitive IRC rating and proven race history, it’s ideal for sailors wanting an affordable, well-balanced yacht that’s fast, fun, and capable of winning in club or offshore events.
