@oheyitsmehannah Calm down man. This is a completely different boat than anything ever made before, he's not going to do the Head of the Charles or anything in it...
Why bother starting out with a full blown single scull that drives the price up. Can you design something barely floats and then lifts the same way? Ok wait totally bypass the oars and put the Concept2 system as a form of propulsion with a propeller?
How much would one of these costs someone do you think? haha. I know prob VERY expensive, but still curious about a ballpark estimate if it were to go in future production.
The sliding rigger design helps keep the weight from shifting forward & backward on the foils, helping the overall stability. The effect is also present in normal shells, though less pronounced (stern check). The sliding rigger was originally tried in the early 80's. It is faster, but the international rowing bodies decided they wanted to race rowers against each other, not technologies, so it was banned. You can still find some boats that use sliding rigger designs if you look.
Are sliding riggers actually legal in 2011?? My 4 could do with less check!

This. Is. Not. Rowing. I'm sorry but if you're an actual rower, you go all out. Stop doing this pansy crap.

Hmm, looks like a technical feat.
However, I'd hate to run into something with those hydrofoils.

@schakuras it helps reduces drag since their is less surface against the water once you are at speed.

what did you do to the rigging to overcome the large distance from te gate to the water?

Ocean small single scullers also use sliding riggers to ensure balance in a short hull that resists waves :)

Man a weird thing i noticed from this is that the rigger moves with the feetstops. is this a modification or a like a different bat design???

how much faster are they in the hydrofoil? compared to normal sculls.
theguyfrommar5 2 years ago 13
at last there is one. Is it faster than the flyak or an 8+?

Go patriots!
How fast can you go?
What does the SpeedCoach read when the impeller is lifted out of the water?!!
How many strokes can you keep it up for? (and I don't mean in the bedroom!)
