The Swarbrick 80 represents the ultimate evolution of Western Australian yacht construction, marking the transition of the Swarbrick family from high-volume production builders into the rarefied world of custom maxi yacht engineering. Launched in the mid-1990s, this 80-foot (24-meter) platform was designed by John Swarbrick to challenge the dominant international designs in the "Big Boat" classes of offshore racing. Built in the Henderson facility using advanced composite techniques that were pioneered by the yard during their tenure as Australia’s largest production builder, the Swarbrick 80 was a bold statement of Australian maritime capability. The most famous vessel of this design, Broomstick, became a household name in the Australian racing circuit, showcasing the builder's ability to marry massive power with the structural integrity required for the Southern Ocean.
