We bought Swift in October 2006 just outside Southampton. We towed her back to Ireland (where we encountered our first gale on board the Ferry!). We keep her either in Waterford or Dublin. We mainly use her for day sailing and cruising but also do a bit around the cans stuff. Last summer we went to the Scilly Isles & got 3rd place in the October league. This year we have been over to Wales in June with another few weeks planned in August. Maybe further a field next year!

She was formerly DITTONIA(1993-2000) and prior to this DORETHEA. She was called SWIFT from 2000 to present. If anybody knows any of this boats history we would be delighted to hear from you.
