SeaGrade Oars

Product Description

The SeaGrade wooden oars are elegant, well-balanced oars crafted from laminated clear timber for strength and light weight. The looms are tapered to make the oars feel balanced for a smooth rowing stroke and the blades are finely shaped to break the surface of the water with minimum splashing and wasted energy.

The handles are ergonomically shaped and left unvarnished for wet grip when rowing.

Made by Lahnakoski, a fourth-generation family business in Finland that specialises in wooden oars.

Each pair of oars comes pre-fitted with black plastic collars.

These are metric length wooden oars and the imperial measurements are a close approximation.

Available sizes:

Length	Blade Size	Shaft Diameter	Weight (each)
6′ (1.8 m)	112 × 540 mm	44 mm	1440 g
6′ 6″ (1.95 m)	112 × 540 mm	44 mm	1490 g
7′ (2.1 m)	112 × 580 mm	44 mm	1600 g
7′ 6″ (2.25 m)	112 × 580 mm	44 mm	1720 g
8′ (2.4 m)	115 × 600 mm	44 mm	1830 g
8′ 6″ (2.55 m)	115 × 600 mm	44 mm	1950 g
9′ (2.7 m)	115 × 600 mm	44 mm	2060 g
10′ (3 m)	120 × 700 mm	45 × 47 mm	2520 g

Please note that, because these are wooden oars, the weights are approximate and will vary.

Work out what oar length you need by multiplying the rowlock span (the beam of the boat where the rowlocks are positioned) by 1.5 and adding 6 inches. Add another few inches if you prefer to row with the handles overlapping. This is only a guideline, so round up or down according to preference.

Storage and Maintenance of Oars

To keep your oars in top condition, store them in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. If the varnish is damaged, it's best to sand it and recoat it as soon as you can to keep them protected.
