Riggers, oarlocks & rigger components
Riggers, oarlocks and rigger components for every rowing shell.
From wing riggers and oarlocks to top stays and pins – for precise adjustment of span, oarlock height and pitch in racing or training boats.
Key rigging parameters
- Span – the distance between oarlocks; determines leverage and blade arc through the water.
- Oarlock height – affects hand clearance and blade depth during the drive.
- Pitch – the fore-aft and lateral angle of the pin determining blade entry and release.
- Rigger position – placement relative to seat and foot stretcher affects balance and timing.
- Top stay – stabilises the wing and keeps alignment under load.
Useful for setup and adjustment
- Boat maintenance – inspection, alignment and installation advice.
- Measuring & rigging tools – for span, oarlock height and pitch adjustment.

Practical notes:
- Modern shells almost always use ball-bearing seats; double-action seats are legacy (older boats).
- Check rigger type, oarlock height, span and mounting pattern for your hull.
