Design 2120 Gunfleet of Hamble

Gunfleet of Hamble was designed and built for the the 1973 Admiral's Cup competition. Unfortunately she was late to the starting line and missed the opportunity to race. In the mean time the design was utilized for the new Swan 41 so by the time 1974 competition came around the custom one-off Gunfleet found herself racing against a stock boat of similar proportions.

Gunfleet of Hamble was constructed of aluminum by Joyce Marine of Southampton, England.
