Welcome to Max Rigging
Welcome! Max Rigging is the authority site on rigging and rowing to help you get the most out of your rowing equipment. You'll find information on rigging and rowing from Mike Davenport, a top-level instructor and the primary educational consultant for USRowing.
The information here is very easy to follow, even if you're not technically minded. You can apply much of it immediately to your own rowing, to be faster, less stressed, save money, be safer or just plain be better than before.
If you're new to rowing, take a deep breath. We all start somewhere, and you've come to the right place. Sign up for a quick course on rigging and feel free to browse the site or contact Mike if you don't see what you're looking for.

Yes, yes, I know . . . I’ve been horrible tardy in posting things up.
Apologies all around.
Here is something that I did not write, but I think for anyone involved in rowing, it is a must read.
Regardless of how you feel about the topic itself, it is great background information and discussion material.

What Not To Do With Your Rigging When It Is Really HotDang, it is hot. We’ve just hit our 7th day over 100 degrees.

Thought it might be appropriate to throw out a few rigging things that you should NOT do when it is hot. I discuss them in the following video. I probably could... [Read more of this review]
