I've just come across a two-page article from the May 1974 issue of Practical Boat Owner, just as the S&A film was about to be released.
A replica Swallow was created for display at the Earls Court Boat Show that year to publicise the then-forthcoming film.
Along with the text, the article contains a pencil sketch of the replica, and of a one-design modified to simulate Amazon.
Anyone interested in seeing the article is welcome to email me for a copy.

I've mentioned this before, but if you're looking for construction details and other information about The Boats of Swallows and Amazons you should visit the website of that name -- just follow the yellow brick road....
