Our drop-in rowing assemblies can convert your canoe into a sliding seat rowing boat.
Rowing utilizes your leg muscles, which are the body's largest and strongest muscle group.
Designed by an Olympic oarsman and MIT engineer, these units are lightweight, strong, and reliable. A canoe fitted with our drop-in rigger unit offers the benefits of a traditional rowing shell at a fraction of the cost.
Rowing utilizes your leg muscles, which are the body's largest and strongest muscle group. By using both your powerful leg muscles and upper body strength in the rowing stroke, it allows you to go faster, burn more calories, achieve a full aerobic workout, and rowing strengthens and conditions more of your major muscle groups and minor support muscles.

A canoe is an excellent rowing platform that is stable, and is a fine displacement hull that tracks very well. The greatest advantage canoes have over other sculling boats, however, is their ability to accomodate passengers or gear.
After considerable research and testing, we developed the angles, relative heights, and leverage points to insure a solid and direct application of power. The resulting rowing stroke is smooth and efficient. In the final analysis, a canoe fitted with our drop-in riggers offers the recreational and health benefits of a traditional rowing shell at a fraction of the cost.
