About

RigBook For Rigging In Rowing

Read full description

RigBook is an offline-first reference app for rowing coaches. Store, view, and share rigging settings for your fleet without an account or internet connection. Built for use at the dock: fast, private, and reliable. Your fleet in one place Add your boats with class, rig type (sweep or scull), and optional details like manufacturer and year. Each boat can have multiple rig profiles—named snapshots such as "Lightweight 4- June 2025" or "Senior Men Henley"—so you can switch lineups or conditions without losing a setting. Complete rig profiles Record everything you need in one screen: spread or span, work-through, catch and finish angles, rig height, pitch, lateral pitch, foot stretcher (toes-to-seat, footboard angle), inboard, outboard, overlap, and optional seat and slide notes. Link an oar set to a profile and outboard is derived automatically. Duplicate an existing profile and adjust only what changed. Oar sets Keep an inventory of your oar sets with blade type, total length, inboard, shaft material, and grip length. Attach an oar set to any rig profile for consistent measurements and quick reference. Share and export From any rig profile, share a formatted summary as plain text to Messages, Mail, or Notes. No cloud sync—your data stays on your device. Export is how you share with assistants or other coaches. Resources (Premium) Subscribers get in-app access to World Rowing rigging guides (Basic and Intermediate) and manufacturer references, so terminology and recommended values are a tap away. Designed for coaches RigBook follows a few clear rules: no required fields (enter what you track), duplicate-first workflow (new profile from the last one, then tweak), large readable values for outdoor use, and no account or server—everything is stored locally on your iPhone or iPad. Whether you run a club fleet or a national programme, RigBook keeps your rigging numbers organised and easy to find when you need them. If you choose to upgrade to our subscription, payment will be charged to your Apple account, and your account will be charged 24 hours before the end of the current period. Auto-renewal may be turned off at any time by going to your settings in the App Store after purchase.
