A display instrument 1 for a coxed rowing boat has a main-body 2 with a display head 3 displaying rowing-related measurements digitally at its front end, and a resilient partially-spherical extension 7 from its rear end. In the assembled instrument 1, the extension 7 is entered into an open-mouth 13 of a cup-receptacle 11 to be gripped resiliently surface-to-surface within a peripheral rim 14 of the mouth 13 so as to resists relative movement but allows manual adjustment of orientation of the main-body 2 relative to the receptacle 11 to facilitate the cox's view of the display. The receptacle 11 is entered in an aperture 16 of a dashboard 17 adjacent the cox's position 18 in the boat, and electronic circuitry of the instrument 1 is receptive of GPS signals to calculate boat and water-stream speeds for display.
