Along the time I’ve always been pasionate by researching in the individual rigging field, because altough I didn’t always had sportsmen with ideal parameters, the sportsmen i coached had excelent results on the national and international contests.
Even from the begging of my career as a rowing coach, I noticed that sportsmen with the same sizes gave different results. I tried to understand the reason why this thing happend, and in time I ended at the conclusion that the easeing of the working condition for the sportman results in better result and ease of how the sportman works.
My continue studies permited me to indivualy rigg the equipments for every sportman which everytime resulted in a higher performance of the sportman, also helping each one feel confortable in the boat, to feel it like an aly in competitions, not like an obstacle.
If for the 1x boat, the rigging doesn’t do anything else but ease the sportman’s work, for the rest of the boats the sync of sportsmen depends very much by the rigging. This is why I consider a must do the rigging of the equipments, because once done the sportsmen will have an homogenous stroke, much like an elventian clock, perfect in every stroke.
I guarantee a gain of at least two seconds (2 seconds for 1x si 2-, 3-4 seconds for 2x and 4-, 4-5 sec for 4x and 8+) of the performance of the team compared to previous results, with the condition that the rigging will be done in time, and the sportsmen have the necesarry time to get used to the new rigging (2-4 days before competition).
