    +1 re a Hirondelle - she would have been built in the UK, probably in the 70's - I wonder how she found her way to Michigan? Did she sail across on her own bottom, or was she shipped?

    There were 3 versions according to Sailboat Data - HIRONDELLE MKI - sailboatdata https://sailboatdata.com/sailboat/hirondelle-mki/
    The link above is for the Mark 1; they also mention the Mark II (which has a taller rig), and the Mark III (which has stub keels instead of daggerboards).

    +2 Hirondelle Looks like a mark 1. Several were imported into USA and Canada. The jpeg below gives more detail.
