Boat colours and boat names

The standard color 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.

Elite Carbon boats are finished in 3 coats of a UV resistant polyurethane paint that is clear, to show the weave of the carbon cloth, and have the same black rim as our other boats.

Elite Plus, Elite, Elite Economy and Club A boats are clear finished in the cockpit area, showing the weave of the carbon cloth.

Club B and Saver boats’ cockpits are finished in white.

For custom colors we offer 3 choices;

A. Standard design but alternate trim color (deck tape, edging around cockpit, and bow/stern tip color from black to another color).

B. Standard design but change the main color from white, change the trim color or leave it as black.

C. Other custom color.

The charge for custom colors varies, so please talk to you local agent.
The choice of trim and main colors is shown in this chart.

For custom orders and at an additional cost, we are able to apply your chosen boat name on the bows of your boat prior to packing and shipping, but you MUST make sure to inform us of your choice of name when ordering.

We use approximately 5cm tall, black letters in Arial font. Be sure to specify upper and lower case letters.

Sectional Boats

All eights are sectional boats (2 pieces), in line with FISA's rules of racing. All other boats, singles, doubles and fours can be built as 1 piece boats, or for easy transportation and storage as 2 piece boats. There is a charge for extra sections. There will also be an increase in boat weight of approximately 1kg for singles and doubles, and 2kg for fours and eights.

Coxed Boats

All eights are stern coxed boats, in line with FISA's rules of racing. Fours can be built as either top coxed/front loaders, or as stern coxed boats.
