True…can we program it differently? Like the year and change it each year? 2022

Rowing Hack: Meet the Castellated Nut
December 16, 2021

?
We've shared a few slick custom-made tools for loosening wing-nuts over the years, but Craig Schiff from the Yankee Rowing Club clued us in to a tool for this job that needs no making at all. Meet the Castellated Nut, and start making short work of the over-tightened wing nuts in your life.
Also called a Castle Nut, this is a bit of hardware that we don't see much in rowing, but it just so happens to fill the "wing-nut tool" niche pretty neatly: the castled notches will grab the wings of the nut you need to loosen, and it easily fits in your hand (not to mention taking up very little room in your toolbox or pocket).
The other place a Castellated Nut fits easily? Down through the port holes in the deck, for those times when you need to get at the wing nuts that hold the tracks. Those track fasteners are some of the trickiest parts to reach on a shell, as anyone knows who has had to contort their arm to get leverage on a wing-nut down under the deck.
?

In fact, when it comes to adjusting the tracks, you would be hard-pressed to have enough clearance down in the hull to get much traction with our usual wing nut hacks, like the??or the?, and even a small crescent wrench never works all that well. The Castellated Nut, though, fits right on the wing nut without needing room for a handle and gives you just the right amount of grip to spin them loose--or to tighten things up and keep the tracks from sliding out of position in the first place.
Schiff's hack reminds us of another way we looked at to use a bit of hardware to attack wing-nuts----but there are not too many of those pre-Euro rigger parts floating around anymore, whereas you can pick up a Castellated Nut cheaply at any hardware store.
We did get one bit of hack advice from Schiff: "Just make sure you grab a Castle Nut large enough for your paw to grip securely. It doesn’t have to even fit the wing nut, as long as it catches the edges." He also pointed out that you could get fancy and spot weld a T handle to it for some extra torque, but that could limit the "under deck" usefulness of the Nut.
Have a good trick that you use to outfit your toolkit? If so,?share your tips--and hacks--in the comments below.
If you have a great rowing hack to suggest for future inclusion, then please??like Craig Schiff did, and we will feature your idea in a future column.
?
If you enjoy and rely on row2k, we need your help to be able to keep doing all this. Though row2k sometimes looks like a big, outside-funded operation, it mainly runs on enthusiasm and grit. Help us keep it coming, thank you!?.

Jenn,
I am sorry that I could not make it to the Saturday cleanup. I was planning on being there. But, I was notified late on Friday night that I had close contact with somebody who had Covid. I thought it wise to stay away, even though I could’ve masked and been around folks. It just seemed prudent to be safer than sorry.
I am wondering if there are some things that I can do that still need attention. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Again, sorry I couldn’t join folks on Saturday. Hope it went well.

?Happy Spring, Yankee rowers!
Covid messed with our usual cleanup protocol for the past season, but this year, we’re BACK!
Come join us on SATURDAY, MAY 7TH, 9-11 am - catch up with rowing friends, welcome new ones, enjoy a snack (coffee/ juice/bagels provided - please feel free to contribute something yummy) and together, we’ll make the boathouse sparkle!
Basic, environmentally friendly cleaning supplies will be provided - if someone has a vacuum they’d like to share with us for the day, that would be helpful.
If someone has a small folding table for snacks, that would be helpful too! Let me know…
RAIN DATE WILL BE SAT MAY 14TH, 9-11. If the weather is questionable on the 7th, check your email for changes, before heading over.
On the “To-Do” List:
Wash all club boats
Clean both bathrooms
Clean windows
Vacuum floors, dust off surfaces
Hope to see you there - and/or out on the water soon!

Hi Craig. I would be interested in any of them for NCR if no individuals want them. Our new program director finds them useful for coaching team boats. Thanks. Sally President, NCR Board of Directors Sent from my iPhone
