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.

Page 2 FAQ tab. Adjusting The Peinert 25/26 is easy to adjust. Stretcher, height, and spread can be quickly set in the ﬁeld. Additional height and pitch adjustment is available by removing the C-clamp or the pin. The boats are delivered with height, pitch and spread set to standard values for clubs or the size of the individual buyer, so if you do not want to get involved in rigging you don't have to.
Page 3 Carrying and storing The Peinert 25/26 is very sturdy. However, it is best not to over stress the skin of the boat where it is not directly supported by the internal frame. In moving or storing the boat avoid putting great pressure on any one point of the ﬂexible parts of the hull or deck.
Page 4 Care The silane paint ﬁnish of the Peinert 25/26 is easy to keep clean. A quick wipe after every row will take care of pond scum and pollution, but if you forget or it gets dirty anyway, any mild soap and water will sufﬁce to wash it off.
