Cadet & Cadet Mini riggers are NOT interchangeable.

For the 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.

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.
