Stretcher and shoes

Most boat builders' fours and eights generally have enough width across the boat to allow room between the feet, this is not commonly the case with singles and doubles. Swift boats overcome this problem by eliminating the traditional stretcher and shoe plate system, and replacing it with a lightweight, rigid carbon system, which still allows easy adjustment for shoe depth. It has the shoes positioned on the very outer edges; thus allowing the widest stance possible. This ergonomic positioning allows both comfort and maximization of power.
Our singles have the stretcher channels located on the saxboards, taking advantage of the slope of the saxboard to create even more space, and further adding to saxboard stiffness. All stretchers are easily adjustable for height, fore and aft positioning, and rake (stretcher angle).



All boats are fitted with the same high quality shoes with Velcro straps that have a single, quick release pull tag. Heel restraints are attached as standard.

Shoulders

All of our boats, from the most competitive to the most expensive have carbon laminated shoulders. Shoulders are the "bones" of a boat and maintain the shape of the hull; together with the riggers they ensure that all the force applied to the oars is translated directly into boat speed, minimizing power loss through twisting and flexing. 		 
 

Seats and rails


All Swift boats use the same carbon seat tops to combine excellent stiffness with durability, whilst minimizing weight. The undercarriage is made from nylon with axles made from anodized aluminum. Single action seats have sealed ball bearing wheels for a smooth movement and are supplied as standard. Seat rails are made from anodized aluminum, and are 80cm long as standard.

Exceptionally tall rowers may need our Carbon double action seats. Longer 85cm seat rails and double action seats are also available. Please specify at time of order.
 

Fins and rudders
All Swift boats have easily replaceable anodized aluminum fins, which are secured to the boat with an aluminum fin box. There are 4 sizes of fins, one each for 1x, 2x/-, fours and eights.


Our rudders are stainless steel; with yokes of anodized aluminum. Our nylon coated steel rudder wires, prevent any abrasive damage to the boat.

Hatch

Our easily opened secure nylon hatches are fitted to both stern and bow decks. The stern hatch is positioned as close to the fin as is possible to allow ease of repair. Hatches are fitted to the seat deck between the seat rails, one for each rower.
