Swallow is a 58 feet 6 inches semi-trad steel narrowboat built by
Pat Buckell at Stibbington on the river Nene and was launched in
May 1994. She has six berths and a mid galley as detailed below.

Swallow is painted Oxford Blue with International Toplac paint
and as gold coach framing with a "Swallow" painted on the sides

NOTE: Swallow had for a "back to the metal" repaint in Spring 2010
 

Swallow is shared by 12 owners and is part of the BCBM 
scheme and has been designated as a NO SMOKING boat

PETS:  We have experienced problems with previous owners pets on board with animal hairs left behind on the furniture and carpets so we expect owners to respect the boat and other owners and keep animals off the furniture and out of the bath! The reason for the bath is that animal hairs can and have blocked the water pump-out of the bath. 
Also, if you have pets on board and use the boat yard end holiday cleaning service, there is a supplemental charge, which I believe all yards apply, not just ours.
