Drop-in Rowing Unit

 
Arguably the best sliding seat unit in the sport, the Piantedosi monorail design is simple, elegant, and stiff, with an exceptionally smooth slide. Multiplies the horsepower of a human being by bringing to bear nearly every muscle in your body.  Sliding seat boats offer absolutely terrific low-impact cardio workouts.

This seat is required equipment for the Annapolis Wherry, Annapolis Wherry Tandem, Expedition Wherry, and Oxford Shell;  these boats were designed around the Piantedosi unit.  These rigs also fit the Mill Creek 16.5, Northeaster Dory, and the Chester Yawl, or any rowing craft at least 15 feet long with a clear space for installation.  (Boats shorter than 15 feet long are going to have a hobby-horsing problem as the rower slides forward and back on the seat.)  Supplied with Concept 2 oarlocks, seat, and foot stretchers.  

Various fit-kits are needed to adapt the rig to different CLC interior configurations.  Use the pull-down to select the unit for your CLC boat model.  Sculling oars are to be used with the drop-in rowing unit.  They are 9' 6" in length, with 2 different blade styles, see below for more info on this. 

The units are handmade in small production runs.  Please call or email to confirm turn-around time if you are in need of a unit right away.
