ABOUT THE BENTLEY
Sway is a 1981 Bentley - one of only 30 ever made. Colin Archer & William Atkin designed, based on the Ingrid or Alajuela. Full keel fiberglass monohull. Draws 6'. USCG Documented vessel.
"The factory built boats have aged very well, the boats have been built strong and engineered well. Most problems tend to be easily fixed. These boats rarely come onto the market and tend to be snapped up quickly. "- Sailboat Guide
SWAY winning the Astoria Regatta in August 2019
