Solid wooden oar with a collar to help keep the blade seated in a rowlock. Sold individually and sized at 1.8 metres for small craft and paddleboards.
Secure Seating - thanks to the collar
A collar sits around the shaft near the blade to limit unwanted lateral movement when placed in a rowlock. That simple mechanical restraint keeps the oar aligned during each stroke.
More confident, repeatable strokes with less chance of the oar slipping out of place. Useful when manoeuvring or making steady progress on flat water.
Traditional Handling - with wooden shaft construction
Solid wood offers natural stiffness along the shaft length and a tactile surface for grip, without relying on synthetic coatings. The wooden core transfers force directly from the wrist to the blade.
A familiar, controlled rowing feel that helps maintain rhythm and direction. Well suited to recreational rowers who prefer classic equipment.
Versatile Fit - with compatibility for dinghies, RIBs and SUP
1.8 metre overall length gives a moderate reach appropriate for small craft and stand-up paddleboards. The blade-and-shaft combination is adaptable to standard rowlocks and simple paddle grips.
Useful for a range of small-boat activities, from casual rowing to basic paddling on calm water. Single-oar sale makes it straightforward to replace one oar or match pairs as needed.
