Rigging isn\’t an art, it\’s a science. Today we\’re sharing a great website we found that lists tables giving the spread for oar length and inboard. It\’s all calculated for you, and included is the rough equation if you\’d like to do the work yourself.
We suggest you print this cheat sheet out and post it around your rowing club. Let\’s make everyone\’s lives a little bit easier.

The author sets out the ratios for sweep oars
