Safety
Winning races is fine, but
we want all of our rowers to not only be safe, but to be reassured
about their safety. Our
boats among the safest boats available.Every boat we build has
enclosed bow and stern compartments. We also enclose the area under
the seat deck for added buoyancy. This makes the fitting
of electronics a little troublesome, but we feel this is insignificant
compared to your safety. We are also happy to put polystyrene
blocks in any of the enclosed areas at the production stage. This
will help to keep the boat afloat even if it has been holed, but
will add slightly to the boat weight and cost. If you would
like to take advantage of this, then be sure to specify at the
time of order. Please understand that it may be impossible
to remove these polystyrene blocks at a later date without major
work.
Boat colours
The standard colour for Swift boats is white hull and
canvas decks, with black tips for the bow and stern, and black
trim on the saxboard tops and wave breaker. Deck tape is
black. We use 3 coats of a UV resistant polyurethane paint
to help protect your boat.
