SWAMP THING
Swamp Thing was Matt Layden's first microcruiser to use chine runners. Matt sailed this fine little boat from his home in Connecticut engineless all the way down the Intracoastal Waterway and on to the Bahamas. In our opinion, it is one of his best sailing designs, but the accomodations for one are quite spartan. At the moment Swamp Thing is being sailed in the Florida Keys by our friend Dave Gatan.
