The renovation of 'Swallow' was made possible by the generousity of approx 100 people, plus these organisations:

Patterson Boatworks
These wonderful craftsmen and women build and renovate wooden boats in the Lake District. They were kind enough to repair and revarnish Swallow to an amazing standard, without charging any labour. See the photos page for before-and-after shots, illustrating the quality of their work.

International Marine
Well known for their yacht and dinghy paints, International kindly donated all the varnish required for Swallow, and arranged for her display at the London Boat Show 2011.

Nancy Blackett Trust
Almost a sister organisation, the NBT charity took care of the finances in the early stages of fund-raising, adding a 28% boost via 'Gift Aid'. They were also an invaluable source of advice.
