Any rowing experts out there?
This is the profile of a rower who is going to compete in the Olympics:
"Associé à X lors des Championnats de France bateaux courts, il termine second".
I'm guessing it refers to a coxless pair or double sculls (?) but I don't know if there's a generic word for this class of boat (as opposed to bateaux longs)?
Many thanks.

small boats
"Bateaux courts" are ones and twos: single sculls, double sculls and pairs (i.e. boats with one or two rowers). See the results here, for example, all with one or two names per boat:

The generic term "small boats" is used in English:
