Abstract: On a rowboat with fixed installed rowing seats (4) and outriggers which can move in relation to them in the longitudinal direction of the boat, the outriggers are designed as slideable outriggers (1) which can slide on a single linear guide (11) like sleds, without tipping, forward or backward. In one particular configuration, there are connection devices (17, 18) located between the outboard segments of the sliding outriggers (1). These connection devices can also be located inside the hull of the boat. The linear guidance mechanism (11) consists essentially of a shaft (12) running parallel to the longitudinal axis of the boat inside or outside the hull of the boat (11a). One or more suspension elements (13) connected with one or more sliding outriggers (1) are guided in a sliding or rolling manner on this shaft (12).
