I am about to start a new project - I have seen this Swift Craft but there is not a lot of information:
120396

Does anyone know about the hull model? - heard that this could be a big job if the strings are rotted..

Thanks,
Fabien

Are you sure it is a Swift Craft

i had a Swift Craft Falcon years ago and never remember seeing one with the shape yours has.

Probably wrong but that looks more like an early Seafarer?

I am most the way thru doing my stringers it is a big job for me at lease because i unpack do an hours work than pack back up

If u have the strive and are healthy and can do a 8-10 shift on the boat u can knock it over in a few weekends

Biggest job is the demo carefully disecting the boat i accidently cut thru my strakes with the grinder mistakes happen

The bit i couldnt comprehend were gluing the stringers down, mixing a batch of epoxy and laying it down within 10mins vefore it kicked off was a task i had to prepare for

The glassing of the stringers is a piece of cake

Kind of looks like an old Seagull, flat bottomed, rough riding and poorly made (as most were in that era)

Just enlarged the photo, not a Seagull, but still looks pretty flat bottomed.
