Engine Information
General Description
Swallow, a 19' fiberglass Friendship Sloop, was built by New England Yachts in Boston, MA in 1975. She has a recently restored wooden deck assembly with the cabin top and decks fiberglassed and painted. Her enlarged cockpit is terrific for 4-6 passengers, and she would be a good layout for daysails with her small cabin for gear. Friendships are known for their stability and ease of handling, as they were originally built as Maine's first lobster boats in the 1880s.
