Bar length measures mass, not physical size.

A little perspective

The mass of 100 kilograms and the defined rigged mass of Six-person rowing shell are approximately the same.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

100 kilograms

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Six-person rowing shell

A defined six-person sweep-rowing shell 13.4 m long and 100 kg when rigged but without crew or oars. Sixes are not an Olympic standard class, so builders, coxing layouts and shell dimensions vary.

World Rowing — Rules of racing

The marked defined rigged mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Relative size
The two selected measurements are approximately equal.

How to read the visual

The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.

  • Six-person rowing shell uses a 100 kg central value within a recorded range of 85 kg–120 kg.
  • Six-person rowing shell is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
  • The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
