FULL SPECIFICATIONS
Overview
Swallow is one of six 19-footers built of the Ahern design by New England Yachts in Boston. A well-built solid fiberglass hull with inside lead ballast. The deck assembly is wood that has been upgraded the winter of 2022-23 with enlarging the cockpit, refinishing the woodwork, and repainting the hull. Tiller steering, large rudder. A new bilge pump and hose is currently being installed.
The cockpit seats 4-6 people.
The spars are painted fir and consist of the bowsprit, mast, boom, and gaff. There is a main sail, and she needs a jib. Standing rigging is stainless steel shrouds with traditional blocks and deadeyes. Running rigging is traditional 3-strand Dacron.
There is a stainless steel outboard motor mount for the transom.
This sloop is a small Friendship Sloop that sails with the stability these former work boats boast. She is a Maine classic ready to sail!
