To maximize your crew’s speed, it is essental they row in a boat suitable for their weight. Swif Racing ofers an extensive range of 29 boat moulds (perhaps the most of any boat manufacturer). Not only does this ensure you are rowing a boat designed for your crew’s weight, that is not a “cut down” version of a larger boat, it is also likely you will have a choice of suitable moulds to optmise your rowing experience.

Constructon A general note about rowing boat constructon.

Honeycomb, or foam sandwich hulls, have become the standard for rowing boat constructon. The method of constructon used by boat manufacturers is surprisingly similar. A selecton of carbon, Kevlar, and fbreglass layers are bonded to a core material (usually honeycomb or coremat). These are then heat-cured under vacuum at high temperatures to set.

A core material is used to make a sandwich structure in order to increase hull thickness. This is directly correlated to boat stfness. As honeycomb is very lightweight, it makes an ideal core material. Coremat is used as an alternate core material, however because of its greater density it results in a heavier boat. Coremat does however ofer beter impact resistance, and is easier to repair than honeycomb.

Swif Racing ofers four diferent constructon types:

Constructon Type Core Layers Purpose Carbon/ Minimum weight and maximum stfness boat Carbon Pro Honeycomb Honeycomb/ for those that want the Carbon best Kevlar/Honeycomb/ Minimum weight for Carbon Elite Honeycomb the budget conscious Carbon compettor Kevlar/Coremat/ A competton boat that Club A Coremat Carbon is built to last A workhorse! Great Fibreglass/Coremat/ for Schools and clubs Club B Coremat Fibreglass wantng a durable, reliable boat
