Description
Awesome little custom Shell Swifyty 15' 2-masted,yawl-rigged sailboat, "The Salty Devil.". Refinished and painted by hand. Very low 2-keeled draft designed for shallow water operations and landings. Comes with 2 stroke 4hp outboard motor in fair condition, safety equipment, and a trailer in great condition. Has been garage stored for 13 years, and rarely sailed, but a great time.
The Swifty 15 is a spacious day sailer with ample cabin space for some serious cruising. The cabin sleeps two, with room for a porta-potti, as well as quite a bit of gear storage. Openable windows and a large sliding hatch make the cabin bright and airy. The cabin extends two feet under the bridge deck of the cockpit.
The unstayed ketch rig is convenient and easy to use. It can be set up in about five minutes. This rig will self-steer going to windward, even when reefed. A simple reefing system makes it possible to reduce the sail area, as much as desired, without leaving the security of the cockpit and cabin. Twin full-length keels make the Swifty 15 easy to beach, upright and stable. This boat is light enough to be pulled clear of the water by two average-sized people. Having only sailed a handful of times at sea, or on local rivers or lakes, with a little love, this boat would make for a fun time on Lake Anna, or the upper Potomac, or the Chesapeake.
