Accessories
Rowperfect sells spare parts and accessories for all our products (and a few other interesting things!).
Space Saver Racking
The newest product line to be stocked by Rowperfect (June 08). An innovative solution to storing oars and sculls in boathouses where space is at a premium.
Space saver is a wall-mounted bracket that allows you to store 16 rowing or sculling oars that you can retrieve easily.
You can now see at a glance if all your oars have been returned to the boathouse before locking up.
A boathouse pack of 4 oar storage brackets will store 64 oars in an efficient 2m x 1.2m wall space. The footprint of each bracket the width of a rowing or scull spoon x 1m.
Note the clever off-set enabling spoons to inter-leaf when hanging.
Specifications: Size: 220 x 890 x 300mm Weight: 5kg Material: 3mm Aluminium
Price £270 each or £1,000 for four brackets.
Wing Rigger racking
With the rise of the wing rigger boat manufacturers have produced a challenge for rowing clubs. How to store them?
The Space Saver Wing Rigger rack stores up to 4 sweep or sculling wing riggers safely. This will fit into the space behind boat racks enabling you to use 'lost' space in the boathouse efficiently.
Each wing rigger rests onto the race and is secured by a velcro strap - and so sweep wings as well as sculling can be stored in the same unit.
Specsifications: Size: 310 x 410 x 430mm Weight: 3kg Material: 3mm Aluminium
