That’s a great price, finally a company keeping it real.

[@harbourdogNL]

Well that's a pretty, and smartly designed little boat, love it!!

[@simon7790]

Love it! Plenty of great ideas and a modern enough sail plan. Also good value for what you get.

[@gatecrasher1970]

i like the bigger version with the sliding kitchen

[@russellboronow1598]

Wow! Very nice

[@Tomm9y]

I own a Ref Fox 200s, which has a lot of similarities with the BC21. Beamier and longer waterline. The Red Fox has Longer side/quarterberths providing more sleeping space for 4. Possibly a longer cockpit too. The RF has built in buoyancy but uses some 350kg of lead pigs as ballast, I think the water ballast is an interesting idea as it's easily adjustable even while underway and would make for easier hauling out & trailering without the lead. I'm not a fan of the timber rubbing strakes, gunwales, when elegant low maintenance options are avaialble. The RF uses uses mostly maintenance free materials. I do like the rig, lightweight, easy to raise. Does the BC21 have CE rating?

[@CaptMarkSVAlcina]

This sounds like an ad !

[@atakd]

Quite similar to a Jeanneau Sun 2000 I once had but without the weight penalty of an iron grounding plate. I guessed £35k so the price was a pleasant surprise. Be interesting to see haw it performs against Hawk 20, seem to have a decent sized rig.

great boat

[@ml50486965]

charming little boat! But you could only just sit on the bunk with your head straight, so, how tall are you, Theo?

[@otm646]

It's a modern Macgregor 21 with water ballast like the 26.

[@sanchezshots]

I had a 21 Macgregor ,good looking

[@rogerc4196]

Neat. I assume the price doesn't include a trailer -- I wonder how much that would add? (Or maybe it does come with a trailer.)

[@otm646]

About 5k from the factory, but if they came to the US it'd be cheaper to have trailers built on arrival.

[@vsevoloddounaevski471]

looks great, but what is VAT?

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

Value Added Tax. Add 20% to net price.

[@michaelkonig9585]

1st Video which show me the anker place ! I hope someone in Germany have one. So I can meet the sailor and see her live. Greetings from the lakes in Niedersachsen to Wales.

[@toddstein1127]

Send them to the USA!😊

[@Swallowyachts]

Hiya, we often export to USA and have many people sailing Swallows in various states :)

[@alexpervanoglu7420]

You would need to take a trailer licemce though if you are younger as 750kg gross is the max tow weight withoit one.

[@josephinebennington7247]

0.54. A rather antisocially positioned head, wouldn’t you agree?

[@otm646]

Looks like the outboard well forces you to drag the motor through the water perpetually. The sound of that alone, never mind the drag would be very annoying under sail.

[@IanSan56]

It looks like there's room to tilt it up since you don't need a long shaft, or if you go electric it would be super easy to remove it completely

[@maximrickard5762]

No, you can sail with the motor in the tilt up position and so no drag

[@timweiler5866]

The motor tilts completely out of the water and white composite flaps snap up to create a fair hull

[@christophereitrem6864]

I like

[@jamesmurphy1480]

remind me of mcgregger 26

[@atakd]

No boat deserves that comparison, least of all the Swallow.

[@petewitt2867]

Looks similar to a Cygnet 20, just not as good.

[@laram8255]

ok

[@TheAegisClaw]

Massive cockpit and small cabin it looks like. Strange decision

[@porcaputtanajimmie543]

Massive COCKpit. Swallow yachts. Get it?

[@frankjames7272]

It's a smart decision. once you are asleep you won't need any more space, unless you sleep dance or something .

[@delphipascal]

Its essentially for camping mate, you're not buying it for long cruises in shite weather.
