“Swansong” was built for the customer who commissioned “Skylark”, and is essentially a souped-up version of that design. She retains traditional clinker construction but the hull lines are much finer with slacker sections and more reserve buoyancy. She is half-decked for added seaworthiness. This is a fast, well-balanced little boat and an
ideal singlehander.
