Rudders
The 4x+ has a fin/rudder system, just in front of the cox.
There are 2 options for rudders:
1. Our standard rudder for CO402x+ is sensitive and very effective, part of what makes Swift quads turn so well, and important for manoeuvring in very big waves.
2. The 1x and 2x can be supplied with an optional shoe controlled, stern-mounted rudder, which can be pulled up out of the water.
Rudder system
Standard (250 mm)
Short (150mm)
The 1x and 2x can be supplied with an optional shoe controlled, stern-mounted rudder, which can be pulled up out of the water.
Fins
For 1x and 2x there are 3 options for fins: small for calm conditions, medium for rougher conditions, and a low profile fin which can be useful for beach sprint races and rowing in shallow water. Fins can be easily changed from 1 type to another with 2.5mm Allen key.
From left: large (205mm), small (160m), beach sprint (80mm)
| Standard | Beach sprint | |
| CO102- | 60cm | 160cm |
| CO103- | 60cm | 160cm |
| CO202A- | 120cm | 220cm |
There is also a choice of fin box position: standard and “beach sprint”. The beach sprint position is 1m closer to the bow, than the standard position, so it is easier to turn,which can be good for a short slalom type race such as beach sprints. It is also less likely to scrape against the beach at start. Or there is the option to have 2 fin boxes.
Wave break and Bow deck hatch
The 402+ mould was updated in Feb 2022 to including a sliding wave break..
There is a choice of hatch near the wave break, our standard 180mm hatch or our oval hatch, better for storing more stuff "on tour".
Stern cover
Our optional stern cover is to reduce the amount of water coming into the stern of the boat. This can happen when you are stationary, waiting for the start of a race in mid sizes waves or when the wave length is shorter than the length of the boat, as the stern will dip under water. It can also be useful for long distance touring - ask distributor about extra cost.
Waterproof storage bag - Touring Option
Waterproof storage bags for 2x and 4x+, attached between rigger mounts with velcro and clips, suitable for touring etc - ask distributor about extra cost.
Cox feet blocks for CO4x+
Cox feet blocks are used to offer a second postion for the cox's feet. Attach to boat with 3M Dual Lock - ask distributor about extra cost.
Bow deck decorative wraps
Decorative wrap for bow deck - ask distributor about extra cost.
Customers can customise their boats using our template or use one of our designs. The material is PVC.
Storage
All boats come with life jackets storage nets in the stern area, hatches for under seat deck and bow compartment storage, plus two additional storage positions per rower on 2x and 4x+.
