I'm looking for feedback on experience with the Piantedosi Row Wing set up with a sliding rigger. I have an older brochure from Piantedosi that lists this option. I am contemplating buying a Row Wing for my Stonington pulling boat that presently has parts of a dead Oarmaster rigged with a fixed seat. I am intrigued with the idea of a sliding rigger, perhaps as much because it is exotic to me. I've never tried one and would like opinions from others on pros and cons. A Row Wing rigged as such might not work because of the relatively high sides of the pulling boat vs. a shell. I have a second SPB already rigged with a Row Wing as well as a WingSystems touring shell with two so I'm familiar with the virtues of these simple, well-made units.
