Rowing Boats -
"With 8 different designs available there is a racing boat for athletes of all sizes with all of these shapes being proven designs that find the ultimate balance between stability and speed. The 110 mould is the standout for me - super narrow and long, a very fast boat for experienced rowers and those serious about having the edge over their competition"

Boat Shapes
The single most important factor to consider when choosing a racing boat is the design weight. To maximise your crew’s speed, it is essential they row in a boat suitable for their weight. Swift Racing offers 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 optimise your rowing experience.

Construction
A general note about rowing boat construction.
Honeycomb, or foam sandwich hulls, have become the standard for rowing boat construction. The method of construction used by boat manufacturers is surprisingly similar. A selection of carbon, Kevlar, and fibreglass 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 stiffness. 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 offer better impact resistance, and is easier to repair than honeycomb.
