Quality control and testing

At Swift every boat from the most expensive to the cheapest has to go through a series of checks, including for stiffness before being shipped.  We measure and record various data for all our boats (approx 300 data for an 8+).  Not only does this mean we can easily supply replacement fittings including riggers, but it also helps us in our quest to build the best boats in the world.
