Vineyard Swordfish is a longsword team and is located in Martha's Vineyard
and Falmouth, Massachusetts. The longsword is rigid, but not sharp, originally
derived from a tanning implement. Longsword dancing is more stately and deliberate
than its more energetic rapper cousin. Vineyard Swordfish kit (uniform), seen here,
consists of white shirt, black knickers, and purple vest.
