Sliding Seat/Rigger Hardware Kit with Carbon Fibre Seat

Christmas Special: All Paper boat Plans and Sliding Seat Kit are 10% off until the end of November.

Our drop-in rowing unit is designed to work with all our boats. It can also be used in many other vessel designs such as canoes or CLC rowing craft. We have tested this system with over 10,000 miles of rowing, often in extreme conditions, without failure.  

This system was designed as an inexpensive and lightweight alternative to the standard drop-in rowing units which weigh 20-24 lbs and start at about $650. Our system weighs 14 lbs  and total cost to build is about $350.

The lightweight carbon fiber seat weighs 1 lb 1oz (two pounds lighter than the maple seats we used to sell)  The aluminum tracks are 35 inches in  length.
