New sailboat comes to town, fulfills a legacy

The Friends of Swampscott Sailing have purchased a new Club 420 for the fleet, bringing the number of racing boats to four.

"We feel that this boat brings us to critical mass for the racing program so that we can handle the increased demand in the Sailing Program, and also have enough boats for Big Blue Sailing, the High School Sailing Club," says Rick Wright, vice president of the Friends.
