Hi looks like a Fairey Swordsman to me. There is a big water outlet is she i/c powered? I think it is also a scratchbuild as well.

:-)) I agree with Roy,Fairey Swordsman,what nice looking boat, I think it needs some brass fittings and a couple of figures just to finish it off and it would be outstanding(just my taste but there again what do I know),mind you it is the kind of craft I am into and enjoy building and sailing and I am rather green with envy, so enjoy your lovely boat, Ray. :-))

It does look a lot like a Sirocco but I think the Sirocco had a square transom not a curved one. That said the builder might have added the curve for aesthetic reasons.

Sorry, guys, but that's nothing like a Swordsman. It has too many windows and not enough curves.
This is a Swordsman -
