CA Riggers & Rigging
Reverse wing riggers
Cadet boats are supplied with reverse wing riggers, just like Olympic champions! We use high grade aluminium that is hard anodized for the best finish.
Note About Riggers
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 Euro riggers
Scull and sweep riggers using aerofoil profiles, with C bracket to hold the pin, mounted behind the rower.
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 wing riggers)
Our wing rigger quick release system is precision made, easy to use and reliable.
Quick Release (QR) parts are the same height as our standard 10mm spacer. Therefore when QR parts are used adjustability of work height is reduced by 10mm.
