Bags for Boats, Riggers, Sculls and Wing Riggers

Rowperfect is the UK representative for Burnham Boat Company who make the best-known padded and ultra-violet (UV) light resistant fabric bags for storing rowing and sculling equipment.  Their range includes bags for single sculls, double sculls, carbon riggers, wing riggers (1 and 2 rigger bags),

The bags for riggers (wings and carbon) and sculling oars are one standard size.  Rigger bags for wings and collapsible carbon are made of Sunbrella; rigger bags for non-collapsible carbon riggers are triangular and made of nylon.  The oar and scull bags are made of Sunbrella. Large boat bags are made of nylon; small boat (1x, 2x) bags are made of Sunbrella.

The bags for boats are custom made to measure and give a perfect fit for your boat design.  Burnham have the ‘patterns’ for many boat types on file. This necessitates accurate measurements.  We have template designs for many boat builders including BBG, Carl Douglas, Empacher, Fluidesigns, Fillippi, Hudson, Janousek, Staempfli, Sykes, Vespoli, Win Tech.  Boat sizes vary by year of manufacture, hull shape and boat weight.

When ordering, please specify your boat year of manufacture, hull design and weight of athlete it is designed for.

If we don’t have your boat design pattern on file, you can measure your boat up using one of the template instruction guides below and send us your measurements. Delivery times vary from 4-6 weeks as each is made to order.

Measurement guidelines

Tips on how to measure from a customer

We found the easiest way was to take masking tape and a tape measure to the boat and then calculate and note the 16″ intervals to take the circumferences with a dressmaking tape measure.  And for the other measurements we put masking tape across the boat with a mark in pencil for the point we used to measure the cockpit.
