Swampscott is home to the <a href="1dory.htm">Swampscott Dory</a>.</font></p> <p align="left"><font color="#004080">Sailing, and especially sailboat racing, has always been one of the prime pursuits of the Club and its members. Dory racing was popular all through the 30s, 40s and 50s. In more recent times the Club has hosted Hobie Cat and Melonseed Regattas. </font></p> <p><font color="#004080">By David W.
