The Slick Rowing Blade is normally assembled with a 70mm hook. This provides enough load for the strongest crews but the asymmetric curvature of the blade makes it extremely clean in and out of the water. The blade can be reduced in size for women and schoolgirls. The Slick Rowing Blade is available on all shafts.The Slick Rowing Blade is the latest CAD CAM computer generated design that supersedes all other blade shapes. The Slick Blade is now available with closed edges, which improves the blades durability and overall performance.
The Slick Blade has no ridgeline so there is less splash at the catch. The low volume blade enters the water quickly and quietly and floats low in the water. The longitudinal curvature is perpendicular to the tip and so is in line with the flow of water. It has a constant pitch across the tip and all lines parallel to the tip.
The gentle asymmetric curvature of the blade assures a clean release from the water with every stroke. Slick Blades are visibly cleaner than other blades.The Slick Blade does not exhibit any negative tendencies during recovery or in bad weather. Since the Slick Blades introduction it has been extremely successful at all levels of rowing.

The Macon blades are the original blade design. This blade was first manufactured in timber. Although the Macon blade is not used in the racing world, recreational rowers prefer them and they are a good blade for learners. The Macon blade is available on all shafts upon request.

We have designed our rowing handles with comfort and ease of use as our highest priority. Selecting a handle that is correct for you is necessary to achieve the best performance. A handle that is too small will cause trouble in the rough water and may turn in the rower’s hand uncontrollably. A handle that is too big will fatigue the rower’s forearms and also result in excessive wrist movement feathering the oar.
From the initial work that we have done, there seems to be a strong correlation between hand size (measured from the base of the thumb and the tip of the fingers) and preferred grip size. We have collected enough data so that we are now able to print a simple chart relating hand size to grip size for sculling and rowing. This will enable coaches to order the most suitable handles, particularly for school rowers.

Rowing Sleeves

The rowing sleeves are the same copolymer interlocking injection-moulded design as the sculling sleeves. The inboard measurements are calibrated on the back of the clip they are available in two parts: The sleeve body and clip (back)
