John Harris and the CLC team spent six months designing prototyping and documenting the assembly and shaping of elegant traditional oars.

Skiff oars. Deluxe Double Ended CanoeKayak Paddle. Carbon Fiber Dreher Fixed Length 287cm113 2 47500. Two very important pieces of advice for new builders of St Ayles skiffs.

I have always found them to be well thought out and designed and the materials used are of the highest quality. If you sit on the skiff centre line then the distances to the oar pivot in a typical skiff are Bow34inches No2 40inchesNo3 39inches and Stroke 35inches. Alloy Plastic Paddle.

Having been on the receiving end of many clubs designs and ideas we have been producing a standard type of St Ayles skiff oar. Wooden construction fully assembled ready to display. Rowing skiff oar S3 Intermediate.

12m Heavy Duty Alloy Plastic Paddles. I have used Space Saver Rowing Systems for a number of applications. Add to Cart.
