Swallow - HERRESHOFF

Swallow presents a unique chance to acquire a classic Herreshoff masterpiece. The S-Class is celebrated as one of the most stunning one-design yachts ever crafted. Instantly identifiable, it features a graceful spoon bow, a distinctive Herreshoff cabin trunk, and a beautifully arched mast that supports a generous Marconi mainsail along with a 5/8ths self-tending jib.

Constructed in 1919, Swallow stands as one of the earliest vessels of her kind. In 1986, she underwent a significant restoration led by the skilled artisans Frank McCaffery of Narragansett Shipwrights and Jim Titus of Mt. Hope Boat Works.

Key aspects of this meticulous restoration included:

• Complete keel removal
• Installation of new bolts
• Replacement of frames
• New planking
• A cabin house built to the original 1919 specifications.

For many years, she was both raced and cruised in New England by a seasoned yachtsman who spared no expense in her upkeep. In the autumn of 2019, she was acquired by Joe Loughborough of LMI, who played a pivotal role in the restoration of renowned yachts such as Santana and Dorade. LMI has recently completed a multi-year refit on Kirawan, ensuring that Swallow has been cared for by some of the finest shipwrights in the nation.

Now, she is primed for the 2021 season, showcasing a stunningly painted topside and fresh varnish. Swallow is in exceptional condition and comes equipped with 2018 Doyle sails that have seen minimal use. Additionally, the yacht sale includes a custom-built double axle boatyard trailer, making this an enticing opportunity for anyone looking to buy a yacht in the current boat location.
