Swaloon's is Hull Number 86 in the C&C 37+ line.  Her proud owners are Jenna Swalin and Chris Riedinger, both members of  the Corinthian Yacht Club Of Seattle (CYC Seattle) and also of the Sea Sloth Yacht Club of Vancouver BC.  They have owned Swaloon since July of 2017.  Swaloon sails and races from her home port of Seattle Washington, USA.

Before being christened Swaloon, hull number 86 sailed under the name Rogues Roost II, based out of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.  This name, Rogues Roost II, was given to her by former owners who grew up in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Rogues Roost is also the name of an iconic and much-loved piece of Nova Scotia’s coastal legacy, nestled midway between Chester and Halifax on Nova Scotia’s south shore, an almost hidden, secluded cove. This cove has a long and colourful history as a sheltered refuge for seafarers and adventurers, from naval ships and fishing vessels to pirates and rum-runners, all seeking refuge in the isolated bays and narrow passages.


Today Rogues Roost is internationally renowned as one of the best sailing anchorages in Nova Scotia, and treasured by local families, boaters, sea kayakers, climbers and hikers, alike.

The Nova Scotia Nature Trust is part way through a multi-stage conservation effort to protect the site. The first step, purchasing the Roost Pond property, is now complete.  They are working together with the Province of Nova Scotia in the hopes the property will ultimately be included in the proposed Rogues Roost Wilderness Area.

Swaloon has gone by a few other different names in the past, including Trilobite, and Adagio, and of course, now Swaloon.
