I know Swallow Boats are all about lightweight wooden boats (and a few GRP ones) but I thought some of you might be interested in these pictures of some pretty heavy weight wooden boats we saw in North East India last April. The notes aren't complete yet, but I am not sure they ever will be, so I thought I would stick the photos on line.
