Just a quick tip...
I had an old pair of jointed wooden oars. The 'handle' end of the oars had been worn away by the rubber rowlocks on an Avon dinghy and were getting dangerously thin. Trying to source some thick dowel or equivalent to fabricate a repair proved fruitless. Whilst browsing a Screwfix or equivalent catalogue I came across sledge hammer handles. They proved to be the ideal length and thickness and at less than a fiver each I soon had a pair of beautiful oars again
.
A request...
Some scrote stole my oars in the last couple of weeks from the Portsmouth area
. So, if you see a pair of jointed oars with brown varnished blades and white wood sledge hammer handles you are authorised to take them apart and find a third use for those handles
