Boats used in Rowingsport the sport of rowing may be adjusted in many different ways according to the needs of the crew, the type of racing, and anticipated rowing conditions. The primary objective of rigging a boat is to accommodate the different physiques and styles of rowing of the crew in such a way that the Oar sportrowing oars move in similar arcs through the water, thus improving the crew s efficiency and cohesiveness. Together, the various adjustments are known as the rig of the boat. Within a multi rower crew, such as an eight, different oarsmen will make small adjustments to their own position, though most settings are usually uniform throughout the crew. The order of the outrigger s on the boat can also be altered so that rowers on different sides can row in different positions in the boat. This is covered in the article on Boat positions sportrowing Boat positions . Gearing The oar acts as a lever, pivoting around the gate, which acts as a fulcrum. The oar s button sets the leverage ratio between the inboard and outboard portions of the oar and therefore sets the gearing. Moving the button towards the handle reduces the inboard and increases the outboard, making each stroke harder but more effective. Such a gearing might be used for sprint racing. The distance of the gate from the boat s centerline is usually adjustable by 3 to 4 cm 1 to 1.5 inches . The gearing is usually set the same for all rowers in a crew, though a particularly tall or strong oarsman may have a different gearing to accommodate them. The gear ratio is calculated slightly differently for sculling and sweep boats. br br Sculling br br math G frac 2 OA IB S math br br Sweep br br math G frac OA IB S math br br where math OA math is the overall oar length, math IB math is the inboard length ... to the correct angle, preventing over compression.

It is designed for eight rowers, who propel the boat with Sweep rowing sweep oars, and is steered by a coxswain, or cox. Each of the eight rowers has one Oar sportrowing oar . There are four rowers on the Stroke rowing stroke side rower s right hand side and four on the bow rowing bow side rower s lefthand side . ref http www.speedrower.com Speed Rower ref The coxswain rowing cox steers the boat using a rudder and is normally seated at the stern of the boat. Because of the speed of the boat, it is generally considered unsafe to row coxless or to have a bowloader cox. Racing boats often called shells are long, narrow, and broadly semi circular in cross section in order to reduce drag to a minimum. Originally made from wood , shells are now almost always made from a composite material usually carbon fibre reinforced plastic for strength and weight advantages. Eights have a fin towards the rear, to help prevent roll and yaw and to help the rudder. The riggers are staggered alternately along the boat so that the forces apply asymmetrically to each side of the boat. If the boat is sculling sculled by rowers each with two oars the combination is referred to as a octuple scull . In a scull boat, the riggers apply forces symmetrically. A sweep oared boat has to be stiffer to handle the unmatched forces, and so requires more bracing, which means it has to be heavier and slower than an equivalent sculling boat. However ...
