The Gryffyn 79 and Gryffyn 100 gearboxes are the heart of the Gryffyn Forward Rowing System.
The Gryffyn System makes the experience of forward rowing easy to set up and simple to experience.
All your rowing motions are exactly the same as in “normal” rowing. Your hands work in the same way, as do your arms, back and legs. Nothing new here !
The Gearboxes, Series 79 and Series 100, are two different sizes sharing the same design and features.
The Gryffyn system mounts on many different hulls, from canoes to wherries to open cockpit kayaks.
The complete GR79 Series system, oars and a Gryffyn Sliding Rigger (GSR1) together weigh around 26 lbs.
