Any suggestions on how to protect the tips on my wooden oars?
As Rappey says, copper strips is the traditional way.Any suggestions on how to protect the tips on my wooden oars?
Why add a boat hook to what you already have to carry, just use the other end of your oar?
I hope they never come into contact with my topsides, they're scratched enough as it is!Not a regular or pretty way of achieving this but I made a 'witches brew' of epoxy resin with carborundum grit mixed into it, coated the first inch of the oars 10 years ago, the 'brew' still protects the tips of the oar despite many scrapes and shoves from a concrete jetty.
as promised
