The The S80 is a one-design yacht designed for racing and cruising. It is intended to provide, at reasonable cost, high-performance racing for inshore and limited offshore events, while at the same time providing simple and spacious accommodation to exploit the cruising potential of the boat. It is with this racing and cruising potential of the yacht in mind, together with the aim to prohibit the use of expensive and sophisticated equipment, that the rules of the Class have been framed.

Swarbrick 80s are still being built today, 25 years after the first one touched the water.
