Swarbrick M9

Swarbrick M9 Monohull - Cruiser / Club Racer
Location: Vincentia, NSW (On Hard Stand - Ready for Immediate Inspection)
Price: $6,900 ONO (Priced for a direct, straightforward sale due to ongoing health issues)
Description:
Originally from Fremantle this boat was a succesfull racer before being relocated to the east coast. I purchased this classic Swarbrick M9 for $8,000 and have spent considerable time and resources upgrading it. My goal was to configure it specifically as a highly manageable weekend sailer or a competitive day club racer. Due to ongoing health issues, I am unable to continue sailing, so the boat is now offered for sale. It is fully ready to be launched and sailed immediately.

Every opportunity has been made to make the vessel clean, simple to operate and long lasting for example powder coated boom and any stretched or irregular bolts replaced with standard quality items.

Rigging: Standing rigging is in good order, paired with brand-new running rigging and modern Dyneema lifelines

Cockpit Controls: Upgraded with forward outboard controls, allowing you to safely manage the engine throttle and gears directly from the helm without leaning over the transom.

Winches: 2 x Fully rebuilt self-tailing winches + 2 x reconditioned and re-chromed main winches for reliable, easy line handling.
Interior & Deck Condition (Full Disclosure):
Interior: Clean, basic, and completely dry. There are no active deck leaks, no mold, and no musty smells. (Final cabin liner and wiring details are being completed on-site over the coming fortnight).

Topsides: In good, solid order.
The Decks: The original teak-over-plywood deck had historical core rot in places where deck fittings had not been properly attached and sealed. It has been patched from below and structurally reinforced where necessary to ensure total structural integrity underfoot. To halt any future water ingress, the entire exterior deck from the cockpit forward to the bow has been sealed with a thick, commercial-grade grey waterproof membrane. It keeps the interior perfectly dry and is fully usable as-is.

Structural & Mechanical Upgrades:
Premium Hardware: Most deck bolts have been systematically replaced with standardised high-grade 316 stainless steel bolts, properly bedded with brand-new backing plates throughout.

Mast base rationalised and updated sheaves. (Please note) Mast pivots flat presumably to clear bridge in W. A.

Engines: 5 hp Mariner outboard in excellent + your choice of both 3 hp Yamaha and electric motor for the tender.
.
Sails (Good Condition): Mainsail, Jib, Storm Sail, and Spinnaker (see photo of full inventory ).

Structural: Keel has been fully and professionally rebedded and hull below water line was sandblasted and completely resurfaced. No osmosis or structural damage.

Reinforced mast post & chainplates. Quality cast bow roller reinforced for heavy mooring conditions.

Extras: New wiring, flexible solar panel, 2x 70 amp hour gel batteries, various spares, new bolts, life jackets, and a lightweight fiberglass tender.

Inspection & Transport (Truck Ready):
The boat is stored on a hard stand in Vincentia. There are no slipway fees or divers required to view--you can walk right up and inspect the entire hull and rebedded keel immediately.

The owner will be on-site at the vessel completing final details over the next fortnight. Inspections are open and highly flexible starting from next weekend.

The vessel is truck-ready for immediate haulage via a standard 10-tonne tilt-tray. Estimated transport rates are highly affordable for regional buyers:

To Batemans Bay: Approx. $450 - $750
To Sydney: Approx. $825 - $1,200
All reasonable cash offers will be considered.

On going storage can be negotiated with yard operator.
