Fairey Marine Huntsman 28

Classic Yacht Brokerage Comments on this Fairey Marine Huntsman 28

Fairey Marine Huntsman 28 built in 1966, hull No. 87.

Major rebuild in 1990 and used very little since that time, spending most of this period stored undercover.

New Cummins 209hp diesels fitted in 2000.  Now only 250 hours.

The Huntsman was designed by Alan Burnard for Fairey Marine Ltd, inspired by the offshore race boats from Ray Hunt in the preceding years with a deep V-hull and elegant classic lines.  Made famous with successes in the Cowes-Torquay race and the famous boat chase in the James Bond film ‘From Russia With Love’.

A truly iconic British yacht design that went on to become the must have power boat of the period.

A smart and elegant example of this true classic power boat which has been used extensively throughout the 2025 season with voyages to the Isles of Scilly and other regular trips up and down the south coast.  The boat performed impeccably throughout the season cruising comfortably and economically at 25 knots and taking on some very rough sea conditions at times with no concerns.

Currently in undercover protected storage for the winter.  2024 survey available.
