Height
There are a lot of variables to take into consideration to find your optimal height. Outboard
and span/spread will affect the angle of approach of the oar. The seat sits above the gunnel in
the 1x’s and the Lightweight 2x, so the measurement procedure will differ from the rest of the
boats.
To measure and adjust oarlock height in any boat where the seat sits above the gunnel (all 1x’s
and the Lightweight Women’s 2x):
• Place a straight edge across the gunnels in line with the pins (or another consistent
point).
• Measure from the top of the straight edge to a consistent point on the seat, and
remember/record this number (see photo below left)
• Measure from the top of the straight edge straight up to a consistent point on the
oarlock, remember/record this number. (see photo below right)
• Add the first number to the second to determine the height.
• Use the provided speed clips, and washers to set the desired height.
• Every sculling rigger has one cm difference built in for overlap.
For all other boats (except the 1x’s and the Lightweight Women’s 2x):
• place the straight edge across the gunnel in line with the pin (or another consistent
point).
• Measure from the top of the straight edge to a consistent position on the seat,
remember/record this number. (see photo next page left)
• Measure from the top of the straight edge straight up to a consistent point on the
oarlock, remember/record this number. (see photo next page right)
• Add these two numbers together to determine the height.
• Use the provided speed clips, and washers to set the desired height.
• Every sculling rigger has one cm difference built in for overlap.
• Every sweep rigger is manufactured to match the other original riggers for each boat.
