C103- Coastal 1x

Our Boats  /  Coastal  /  C103- Coastal 1x

Overview

The 103 CO1x is designed for highly skilled coastal rowers and/or less wavy conditions. Crews in this boat have medaled at the WRCC in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and won both Gold medals in 2018.

The standard fin position is optimized for tracking and stability, with the possibility to have a second fin box for beach sprints. The stern or reverse wing rigger is available.

* = Wing rigger only. For CO1x, aluminium wing rigger, either stern or bow mounted.

C102- is more stable, used by about 90% of our crews at World Champs etc, definitely a good choice for beginners too.

C103- is less stable, but could be faster with high performance rowers.

C102H- is the heavyweight version based on C102-, good for 85-115 kg, but will also be the best choice for anyone heavier than 115 kg.

From July 2024 we have kept the same standard work height as before, but without using spacers. Using the spacers provided will increase work height by 10 mm.

Note that the wing rigger quick release system adds 10 mm extra work height.

As with all our boats, we can build custom riggers, just fill in the details in our order form.

Boat Grades & Construction

Available in multiple construction grades: full spec tables, boat-weight deltas, and the matching rigger / fittings / colour catalogue live on the Coastal reference page.

Boat Grades & Construction

Each grade is finished to the same high standard, with a different price point, and may be more suitable for certain situations and environments.

All Swift racing shells share these core features:

  1. "Sandwich" construction (ie. A core material such as honeycomb, coremat, or PVC foam is sandwiched between 2 "skins").
  2. Epoxy resin, cured at high temperature, under vacuum.
  3. Enclosed seat decks for maximum buoyancy (exceed FISA's requirement).

With various grades, you can choose the materials and price which best suits your needs, whether that is rowing in the Olympics or putting out a fleet of robust singles for your Novice Masters group.
