ABSTRACT:
A lightweight portable rowing apparatus structure, which, when positioned in the lower interior portion of a watercraft's hull, is held in place by the weight of an oarsman. The rowing apparatus does not attach to the hull and may be easily removed from the watercraft. The apparatus includes an oar rigger, a captively held roller seat, a foot rest for each foot of the oarsman and a control network for simultaneously disengaging the bindings from the oarsman's feet during emergencies. The structural configuration of the rowing apparatus allows forces, when they are exerted by the feet of the oarsman, to be directly transmitted to the oar riggers.
