Stop Rigging Alone!

At the end of long days I just want to sit down at the computer—for about 30 minutes—by myself. No distractions, no hassles, just me and the Web.

But after about 10 minutes I usually find myself in a jam. I need to tweak something on the blog, a file is corrupted, Gmail is mad at me . . . and all that means that I need help, from somewhere.

That’s how it used to be when I first started rigging. I would rig when everyone was gone from the boathouse. I’d pull out the tools and start working. And for about 10 minutes everything would be great . . . until—whap . . . I would need help with something.

“Now what rigging numbers should I use for the spread?”

“How long should the oars be?”

“This is stuck, what should I do?”

And I would go from rigging alone to searching for help, by phone, in person, from a book . . . H-E-L-P.

Rigging alone is certainly safer than swimming alone, but it  can give you a headache.

Okay, to get to the point . . . this site, MaxRigging, is all about you not being alone when you rig. Through reports, or posts, or the book, or numbers, or videos I want to help you solve the problems you might have—making your rigging and rowing more productive and fun. Almost like I am with you.

But to be really helpful, I need to know what you need help with.

• What problems are you facing with your rigging or rowing?
• What are your challenges?
• Is there a resource, such as a report on something like Euro-riggers, that would help?

So let me know. Just share a comment below, and tell me what you need.

Let’s see if we can help you from rigging alone.
