How to Set Up Your Canoe for Rowing

One of the questions we get fairly often is "can I set up my canoe for rowing?" The simple answer is yes. Rowing canoes is not a new concept and companies have been making outriggers, rowing seats and even forward rowing contraptions for them for over 100 years. The fact is, canoes make for a great rowing craft and with a very simple conversion, you can be out enjoying a row in a very short time.

We have found there are really only 3 things you need to add to set up a canoe for rowing: A seat position where you will row from - A pair of properly sized quality oars - A suitable pair of oar locks and oar sockets.
