The boat was in need of some &#8220;creative&#8221; repair, but overall in good shape. I fixed some skuffs, modified the transom, painfully applied several coats of paint \/ vanish and mounted a bit of chris-craft&#8217;esq chrome to help tie her to the dock.  More (albiet poor) pictures are <a href=\"http:\/\/potlach.org\/2006\/04\/swifty\/\">available<\/a> rolled out of the garage for a bit of driveway sailing.<\/p>\n<p>She can easily hold 3 people and only weighs about 250 lbs. I have to admit, I expected the stability from this boat based on the design \/ plans, but not quite the speed.  Overall she&#8217;s perfect as single or family day-sailer and \/ or rower and \/ or (small) motor-boat. The biggest problem is I can&#8217;t seem to get in \/ out of the water without folks comming up to look at it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a blast both restoring, sailing and rowing this boat with my son.
