Coastal Rowing Rigger Options
Our riggers are made from high grade aluminium, welded to the optimum design and hard anodised for a long lasting finish.
All are adjustable for span, work height and pitch.
We guarantee the accuracy of our span, work height and pitch, see website for details.
▶️ Aluminium stern wing riggers – heavy duty
Scull riggers using a heavy duty aerofoil profile, for use without backstays, ideal for lower ability crews and recreational rowing, mounted over the foot stretcher.
▶️ Aluminium reverse wing riggers
Scull and sweep riggers using aerofoil profiles, with C bracket to hold the pin, mounted behind the rower.
▶️ Folding ali back riggers
A lightweight design with C bracket to hold the pin, mounted to the strong lip and rigger mounts.
All measurements are in millimeters or degrees. ±3mm, ±0.3 degrees is the margin of error we work to.
Span and work height are calculated:
- From the boat's center line, when the pin is in the MIDDLE position of the rigger block.
- When the oarlock is vertically in the MIDDLE position of the pin.
- From the curve around the hole in the seat top to the sill of the oarlock.
All rigger types are adjustable for work height and span.

Quick release (for aluminium wing riggers)
