I was looking at the cover photograph of Sophie's book today and thought how well Swallow compared with AR's illustrations and although I suspect the dinghy is a foot or more shorter, it seemed just right (apart from the varnish!).
Fast forward to a similar photograph of the boat after restoration, and the sail looks too small for the boat to my eyes. In one photograph the sail appeared to be a balanced rather than standing lugsail. How strange, but I am sure there is a good explanation.
