Swallow was built in 1919 which makes her one of the first boats of her class built. In 1986 she received a Major refit which was done by� Frank McCaffery of Narragansett Shipwrights and Jim Titus of Mt. Hope Boat works.

Highlights of the restoration included� 

Keel off

New bolts� 

Frames� 

Planking� 

new cabin house to the exact 1919 plans.

She was raced and cruised in New England for many years by a very experienced yachtsman who again maintained her with a no expense spared budget.

In the fall of 2019 she was purchased�  by Joe Loughborough of LMI who was instrumental in the restoration of the world famous yachts�  Santana and Dorade. LMI have just recently finished a multi year refit on Kirawan. It is fair to say she has been looked after by some of the finest shipwrights in the country.
