Although it was several years ago now, I still remember my delight when I first came across Stuart Weir's beautifully illustrated and comprehensively researched The Boats of Swallows and Amazons which used to have a link pointing to it from the erstwhile Dick's Pocket Book. Stuart's article wandered around the Internet for a time until it found a permanent home on All Things Ransome.

Stuart has now added a second essay detailing some the of resources that are available for those who would like to build their own Swallow or Amazon. This is now available as Building a boat 'just like' the Swallow also on ATR. I would recommend the article to all who are contemplating following in Mary Anne builder John Nichols's footsteps. (My name appears as joint author at Stuart's insistence. In fact, my own contributions were quite minor.)
