The Slick Sculling Blade in normally assembled with a 40mm hook. A smaller blade is available for women and schoolgirls who want slightly lighter load at the catch. Slick Blades are available on all shafts.

The Slick 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.

The Droop Snoot Sculling Blade was first introduced in 1992. The ridgeline is not in line with the shaft. The ridgeline is almost horizontal and hence the blade is more stable through the stroke. This reliable blade is available on S2 stiff, S2, S2 soft and S3 shafts only.

The Cleaver Sculling Blade was first introduced in 1992. It is identical in curvature to the Droop Snoot but does not have the benefits of the horizontal ridgeline. This reliable blade is available on all shafts by request.

We have designed our sculling 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. All our sculling handles come fitted with our injection moulded thermoplastic grips. These second-generation grips have gained universal acceptance since their release and all include an anti-bacterial agent to stop the growth of bacteria and fungus. 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.
Sculling Oars can be fitted with either Carbon adjustable handles or fixed wooden handles.

The Carbon handles are avaliable in three sizes small medium and large:
