By opting for gelcoat over the polyurethane paint we use on our racing shells, we are providing a tougher finish: perfect for low maintenance, even with the knocks these boats are likely to get.
All hulls are off-white, with 4 upper-colour options:
Colours shown are approximate. If colour matters, check using the RAL number.
| Swatch | RAL # | Name | Hull | Upper |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RAL 9016 | Off white | from 2023 | from 2023 | |
| RAL 7035 | Light grey | until 2023 | until 2023 | |
| RAL 3020 | Red | No | from 2018 | |
| RAL 3001 | Red | No | until 2018 | |
| RAL 5012 | Aqua blue | No | Yes | |
| RAL 1018 | Yellow | No | Yes |
Swift produces oars for our Cadet and Cadet Mini boats with shorter shafts in 3 lengths: Short, Medium, Long. Manufactured with purpose-built tooling, so they're correctly sized, not "cut down" versions of normal scull oars. Handle external diameter is CNC-cut to fit perfectly inside the shaft.
Three grip sizes on two handle sizes:
| Handle | Color Code | Grip Diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Red | 32 mm |
| Medium | Orange | 35 mm |
| Medium | Purple | 37 mm |
Loosening 2 screws gives up to 12 cm of quick length adjustment. All handles have the overall length engraved, no need to measure each time.
HP grade is not offered, at this reduced length, oars become too light and stiff.
| Club Performance (CP) | Recreational (Rec) | |
|---|---|---|
| Total weight: Long (per piece) | 1.42 ± 0.2 kg | 1.47 ± 0.2 kg |
| Total weight: Medium (per piece) | 1.36 ± 0.2 kg | 1.41 ± 0.2 kg |
| Total weight: Short (per piece) | 1.34 ± 0.2 kg | 1.39 ± 0.2 kg |
| Max variation per pair (kg) | 20 g | 30 g |
| Shaft stiffness: Long | 35 mm | 40 mm |
| Shaft stiffness: Medium | 28 mm | 34 mm |
| Shaft stiffness: Short | 24 mm | 28 mm |
| Max variation per pair (cm) | 2 mm | 2 mm |
The sleeve is positioned so that small rowers in Swift Cadets/Cadet Minis achieve the same stroke length and similar (or lighter) gearing as taller scullers in bigger singles.
| A2 blade | A3 blade | |
|---|---|---|
| Long: Length (cm) | 268-280 | 273-285 |
| Medium: Length (cm) | 256-268 | - |
| Short: Length (cm) | 244-256 | - |
For the Kiddy 1x we recommend the medium or short Cadet oars.
Available in 2 boat grades: Club A and Club B.
This is the lightest grade offered for Trainer 1x.

Cadets, Trainers & Scouts/Boat Grades & Construction
The most age-appropriate singles available today. Two original racing hull shapes, sized to fit and to keep young rowers motivated. Two grades, Club A or Club B, both with a tough gelcoat finish.
The most age-appropriate singles available today include the Cadet 1x and the Cadet Mini.
These are 2 original, racing hull shapes that are sized to fit and to keep young rowers motivated and learning skills.
The Cadet Mini ships in three rigger configurations (Small, Medium, Large) and the Cadet 1x in two (Medium, Large), pick by rower size and stroke development. Scroll horizontally on smaller screens.
| Mould # | CadMini101-* | CadMini101-* | CadMini101-* | Cad101-* | Cad101-* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Crew weight (kg) | 40-50 | 40-50 | 40-50 | 45-60 | 45-60 |
| Crew weight (lb) | 88-110 | 88-110 | 88-110 | 99-132 | 99-132 |
| Length (cm) | 601 | 601 | 601 | 720 | 720 |
| Waterline Beam (cm) | 24.8 | 24.8 | 24.8 | 25 | 25 |
| Bow Work height: scull | 135 | 150 | 165 | 150 | 165 |
| Str Work height: scull | 125 | 140 | 155 | 140 | 155 |
| Rigger Size (not interchangeable) | CM Small | CM Medium | CM Large | C Medium | C Large |
| Recommended Oar | Cadet Short | Cadet Medium | Cadet Long | Cadet Medium | Cadet Long |
For boats with the quick release system, it adds 10 mm extra height for the riggers. If you don't want the extra height, please order the boat with custom riggers.
Due to the small hull sizes and sandwich construction, overall boat weights stay manageable, even on Club B. Variation is published, not estimated.
| Club A | Club B | |
|---|---|---|
| Cadet Mini 1x | 16.0 kg (35 lbs) | 16.5 kg (36 lbs) |
| Cadet 1x | 17.0 kg (37 lbs) | 18.0 kg (39 lbs) |
| Variation | ± 0.5 kg (1 lb) | ± 0.5 kg (1 lb) |
Available in 2 grades, Club A (ideal for racing) or Club B at a lower price, both with a tough gelcoat finish.
Club A has kevlar skins on Lantor coremat for a strong, lightweight sandwich. Club B is sandwich construction with Lantor coremat and fibreglass skins: rugged durability, easy repair. Both grades use closed-cell PVC foam as the core for decks, seat deck and saxboards.
Top and bottom moulds minimise the labour required, reducing costs. The resultant join of the 2 parts runs around the entire edge of the boats, giving them an advantage in toughness over "normal" shells.
Every Cadet and Cadet Mini is built under vacuum, ensuring higher strength-to-weight, lower void content, and longer life than wet-lay alternatives.
Enclosed seat decks for maximum buoyancy: Swift exceeds FISA's buoyancy requirement on every Cadet hull, every grade.
Full construction spec for each grade: hull, saxboards, canvas decks, and seat deck.
Due to small hull size, only a little over FISA minimum, so can still be highly competitive.
| Hull | Coremat core with kevlar skins. |
|---|---|
| Saxboards | Closed cell PVC foam core with kevlar skins and carbon reinforcing. |
| Canvas Decks | Coremat core with kevlar skins. |
| Seat Deck | Closed cell PVC foam core with kevlar skins. |
Built for training, but due to the small hull size, not as heavy as a normal Club B Racing Shell. Relatively easy to repair.
| Hull | Coremat core with fibreglass skins. |
|---|---|
| Saxboards | Closed cell PVC foam core with fibreglass skins and carbon reinforcing. |
| Canvas Decks | Coremat core with fibreglass skins. |
