PARA Rowing Riggers & Floats

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.

Wing Riggers

Wing riggers have 2 main advantages, they can be moved bowwards and sternwards to finely adjust a boat’s trim, and that as the hull has no ribs, they are suited to rowers with “well developed posteriors”.

They have more clearance from the water, potentially useful in rough conditions, although with a larger surface area there may be more aerodynamic drag.

▶️ 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.

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.

	Work height adjustment				Work height	Span
	by pin washers	by 10mm spacers	by rigger height	by height wedge	adjustment Total	adjustment per rigger
Ali wing scull heavy duty	±18mm	±10mm			+28, -18mm	±65mm
Reverse ali wing scull	±18mm	±10mm			+28, -18mm	±19mm

Wing riggers have +10mm extra work height adjustment with Swift's "10mm spacers", Prod# Rig33 (1 set supplied as standard).

For Ali Wing riggers, lateral pitch can be easily adjusted with our pin wedges, Rig10A (1 degree wedges supplied as standard).

All PARA and Rec scull riggers use our extra long rigger block, allowing 70mm span adjustment each side.

Because of the small span adjustment for Reverse wing riggers, we recommend using the Heavy Duty Ali Wing riggers on the PR1x and PR2x boats.

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..
