Bar length measures mass, not physical size.

A little perspective

The mass of 16 stone is about 1.02 times the defined rigged mass of Six-person rowing shell.

Measurements, assumptions & sources +

16 stone

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.

Mass ↔ Defined rigged mass
Relative size
16 stone is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.02. 16 stone's selected measurement is approximately 1.6% greater than Six-person rowing shell's.

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.
