PEINERT 25 and 26

Assembly

The Peinert 25 or 26 is easily rigged, there are only four removable parts - the rigger, the 
footstretcher, the seat and the fin. The boats share the same seat and rigger.

Installing and Removing the Rigger
DO NOT LOOSEN THE BOLT ON THE BOW SIDE OF THE BLACK BRACKET
(a 1/2” nutdriver and 1/2” open end wrench are supplied with the boat)
The standard quick release bow wing rigger is held into the boat by 4 pointed screws that seat 
onto steel bushings that are press-fit into the rigger.  To install the rigger, make sure that the stern 
pointed screws are backed out until the points are near the inside edge of the black bracket. Slide 
the bow end of the rigger onto the bow pointed screws where it will sit by itself. Then turn the 
knurled wheels on the stern pointed screws to advance them into the bushings and secure the 
rigger. If you plan to derig at the end of the row, you can probably make the screws tight enough 
without using tools but make sure that all 4 pointed screws are solidly seated in the rigger. If the 
rigger is to stay on the boat, gently tighten the pointed screws with a 1/2” nutdriver  then, while 
holding them from turning, use the 1/2” open end wrench to tighten the jam nuts against the black 
bracket. This will lock them in place. 

Removal is the reverse of this process. Loosen the stern jam nuts, back out the stern pointed 
screws, slide the rigger back off the bow pointed screws and lift the rigger off.

Note- the bow end screws are adjusted and set when the boat is built to keep the rigger square 
and should not be changed.

Note- if the rigger is the optional conventional 4 bolt mount then it will bolt on. There should be a 
washer under both each of the bolt heads and each of the nuts but nothing in between the rigger 
and the boat. The easiest way to mount the rigger is to use a spring clamp to hold it onto the 
gunnel while threading the bolts, or you can have one bolt already inserted into the rigger and 
catch it with a nut to keep the rigger sitting on the boat while you line up the other bolts.

Installing and Removing the Seat.  

The standard seat is a single action ball bearing seat. To install, set the bow wheels into the 
tracks, move the seat to the bow until the retaining clips slide under the flanges of the tracks. 
Then bump the stern wheels over the end stops and onto the tracks. Removal is the reverse.

Note- the lowest part of the seat goes to the bow of the boat.
