These utility oarlocks are good for beginners
as they hold the blade in position. They will clamp onto
a shaft from 1-1/4 to 1-3/4 inches in diameter without modification.
Mild steel construction permits adjustment to accomodate
just about any shaft size.
These oarlocks can be used with the Nylon
bushings.
To do that, you need to order 5/8" sockets.
Nylon Oarlock Bushings

To
use the Nylon bushings, be sure to buy the
1/2" oarlock and one
of the 5/8" sockets. |
They
go together like this, and provide lower friction
while rowing. |

I recently received the System Three QuickFair from you, which allowed progress on the micro Auray punt. It's nice stuff; easy to mix, goes on smooth, and sands nicely. The little boat is planned for a young grand niece so that she can learn to row. I started with plans from Hannu's Boatyard (http://koti.kapsi.fi./hvartial), which resulted in a boat 7'-3" by 40" to the outside of the rail. I tried to make it look a bit salty by adding some curve to the tops of the transoms and some quarter knees and bow knees out of plywood.
The two pictures show the punt and oars. All it needs is a little sanding and paint. Painting will be completed by grand niece and her grandma (my sister) in colors of their choice. I'm eager to see how that works out. The oars are whittled out of pine and are 5.5 feet long. Note the Duckworks clamp-on rowlocks. These are easier for a beginning rower.
Fair winds, Andy
