01 · Reverse Wing Riggers

Reverse wing.
Olympic-grade.

Cadet (CA) boats are supplied with reverse wing riggers, just like Olympic Champions! We use high-grade aluminium that is hard anodised for the best finish.

Our riggers are welded to the optimum design, all adjustable for span, work height and pitch: and we guarantee the accuracy of every one.

REVERSE WING

Aluminium Reverse Wing Riggers

  • Scull and sweep riggers using aerofoil profiles.
  • C-bracket to hold the pin.
  • Mounted behind the rower.
02 · Adjustment Range

Span. Work height.
Pitch.

All measurements in millimeters or degrees. ±3 mm, ±0.3° is the margin of error we work to.

  • From the boat's centre 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.
