Hello Welcome to Windermere!  You'll see ' Quadrille' (Swift18 s/n 60) moored just off the Lake Warden's office. You'd have been welcome to use her mast-raising A-frames but unfortunately I'll not be back in Cumbria until mid June. There are some 6+ Swifts on or stored just off the lake but no real ...

New Mainsail

Happy New Year to all, too! Kemps were very good when I bought my new loose-footed, full top battened mainsail last September; their Southampton Boat Show price was 10% better than Jeckells' and their quotation much more informative. Ordering was easy and delivery on  time. Performance was so good, ...

Leaky Keel Box

Hello ‘Scuse the curiosity, but when’s the ‘North West Swift Regatta’? I know one website member was trying to summon Swifts to Rutland Water – seems to not be happening, so another venue nearer Windermere? - could be very interesting.

With the trailer in the water it’s relatively easy to centre the boat, draw it onto the trailer * this automatically pushes the keel up into its keel box housin...
