Yes, the books mention "between 13 and 14 feet long".
We think the prop-buyers decided on a slightly smaller boat so it would be more manageable for the children. More in proportion with them too perhaps!
Obviously it is a shame this 'Swallow' is not an exact copy of THE Swallow, but I think she will still be an excellent way to give people a sailing experience just like the characters in the books.
