Rowing Accessories
We're proud to supply good quality rowing accessories to the NZ market. Tried, tested and cost-effective. Call or email Sally for more info and to order.
Boat Trestles
Swift Boat trestles (aka boat slings, boat dumps, or boat stands) come in three sizes, sold in pairs.
We keep stock in Nelson, and where possible we deliver at regattas, as these are bulky to freight.
Spare parts are available - replacement nylon fabric sling if years of sun or salt water damage the original. Trestles are boxed up for easy transport.
Our boat trestles are also useful as waka, surfski and kayak stands.
Large size (for rowing fours and eights or waka) $240+GST. Also available with black steel frame.
Small Size (for rowing singles and doubles and kayaks) $200+GST
Minis (for singles or surfskis) $90+GST
Boat Lights
These rowing bow lights are bright! Waterproof, floating, rechargeable, magnetised, white LED lights with various flash patterns. With a cheap little bracket from the hardware store bolted onto the number holder, this light will sit securely on top, visible from all directions. Also suitable for all other watercraft, and handy to keep in the car as a safety item for emergencies.
A set of four bowlights $280+GST +P&P
Individual light $80+GST +P&P
Seat Wheels
Regular replacement of rowing seat wheels is a fact of life. Changing out those old, stuck or 'square' wheels will make a huge difference to the rowing experience.
A bag of 100 seat wheels $500+GST
50 wheels $250+GST
Less than 50 wheels, $8+GST each
Either for delivery at regattas or plus P&P
Water Resistant Socks
These socks will keep your feet warm and dry while rowing - or hiking, hunting, walking the dog, mowing the lawns etc.
In three lengths and a good size range, these are a great piece of rowing kit, and an ideal gift.
They don't fall down inside gumboots.
Size is printed on the inside of the cuff.
These don't need washing often. Use a wool wash and peg up by the very tiptoes, inside out, else the water will just sit inside.
Small - EU 36-38
Medium EU 39-42
Large EU43-46
XLarge 47-49
Ankle Length (black/orange) $50 +P&P
Calf Length (blue) $55 +P&P

Mesh Caps
Our breathable Mesh Caps are super-comfortable to wear, you will forget you even have a cap on.
We chose bright colours to help rowers be visible on the water. Turns out our customers find that's also useful for hiking, and even for crowded events like festivals - get a set of these and it will be easy to find your friends in a crowd!
We also have navy blue for the more conservative types :-)
All colours $25 +P&P
