CO2x Coastal Double

Our Boats  /  Coastal  /  CO2x Coastal Double

Overview

The Coastal 2x is the go-to double for coastal racing. Based on our successful CO4x+, this boat excels in surfing, particularly when there is a bit more weight in the bow seat. With an improved hull and cockpit to optimize comfort and speed, this boat was rowed to Gold, Silver and Bronze at the 2021 WRCC and won more than 50% of 2x medals at the 2022 WRCC.

In 2024, the rigger mounts were integrated into the deck mould. The standard fin position is optimized for both tracking and stability, with the possibility to have a second fin box for beach sprint events.

Reverse-design riggers with four fixing points and a short outboard make them very efficient, but also allow for quick derigging for compact storage purposes. The Coastal 2x was the boat of choice for the 2023 European Rowing Beach Sprint Championships in France, and for the 2024 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals in Italy.

The C202 is designed for lighter crews, while the C203 is for heavier crews.

For CO2x, CO4x, fold-in riggers.

As with all our boats, we can build custom riggers) ask your distributor for detail.

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.
