I visited SwallowBoats last week to have some mods made to my BRe - things I either can't do myself or that realistically I won't get done before the start of the season. I will create a Library article about these mods when I have time. It was good to see the yard full of mainly new boats, many awaiting collection. They have now built BRe 11 with more on the order book so that is selling well, but there were also BCs and BRs.
The first BC26 is nearing completion and looks very good. Distinctively SB and not your usual 26 footer. But from what Matt said I don't think they will push this model too hard because SB aren't setup for mass manufacturing such a big boat.
Matt mentioned that he is looking to produce the BR17 in GRP. No doubt that could be very popular if the price is right.
Finally, I saw the fabled sailing canoes (Water Craft #91) and a picture of one is attached. This is the smaller 1-2 man canoe and the larger one was not so far advanced.
