It is possible to buy a pair of substantial galvanized metal rowlocks for £15 or less, the most economical and durable option for skiff builders. However, a vastly superior option is the adjustable pivot/Gate, which could cost upwards of £100 per rowing station. Or in-between, there are bronze or stainless steel options. <br /><br />I suggest if a team chooses to use metal rowlocks, these should only be supplied by the Skiff Association. Standard patterns have been available for over 100 years.<br /><br />Richard P<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
