Safety

As a rower of a Swift Racing coastal/offshore boat, your safety and peace of mind are assured with:

Some of the recent successes include:

  • An open transom, as determined by the FISA design, for immediate discharge of water inflow, with a minimal area for water to remain in the cockpit.

  • A lightweight aluminium water anti-return flap at the stern to prevent the inflow of water from the stern into the cockpit.

  • A lightweight throw/tow line in a yellow throw-bag, in the most easy-to-reach position.

  • Handles on 1x and 2x at the bow and stern for easy boat carrying, as well as netted storage to hold small items and drinks.

  • Non-slip surfaces for stepping into and out of the boat.
