Touring Gigs Riggers 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.

» Aluminium Euro riggers
A traditional design with 3 stay frames for scull and sweep plus adjustable backstays. Side mounted.

» “Ali Back” riggers
A lightweight 2 stay design with C bracket to hold the pin, very efficient at transferring power to boat speed. Side mounted.

» Aluminium stern wing riggers
Scull and sweep riggers using aerofoil profiles, for use with backstays, mounted over the foot stretcher.

» 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.

From January 2013 we started to use a new design for our wing riggers, welding the aerofoil pipes "inside" of the feet (the part that connects to the boat). At the same time, we added a backstay to the scull wing, and made the aerofoil pipe smaller and lighter, so that the total weight did not increase.
This reduced the flex of the rigger and pin to almost zero.
However, we know that some customers (especially for 1x), prefer not to have backstays, so we again offer an ali wing rigger that will not use backstays.
They use a bigger and heavier aerofoil pipe., and we are calling them "heavy duty".
