Our oars and sculls are comprised of aluminium shafts and foam core composite blades. They are hand-made by craftsmen to your specifications which allows us to produce any item to the highest quality and incorporate any additional requirements you may have.
See the sections below for more information on our oars and sculls
Our aluminium sculls have the shaft made from aluminium.
The ends of the shaft have been shaped to accept the spoon and grips so that the whole shaft is a continuous piece of aluminium.
This provides a solid and durable scull suitable for general club training and novices.
The blades are produced from a foam core composite, comprising of carbon fibre on each side of a resin impregnated foam core to provide high strength and rigidity.
We are able to produce both macon and cleaver blades in various sizes. The standard ranges of sizes are as follows:

Should you require anything different from the above then please see our non-standard information.
Our handles are made from wood. This provides a better feeling blade and also balances the weight of the scull to give a better feel through the stroke. The wood also provides, in our opinion, a more aesthetic look in this day and age of plastic and composites.
Handles can be produced in various sizes with our standard size being a 3.6cm diameter.
We use Martinolli sleeves and collars as standard on all of our sculls. The sleeve is PVC and the collar is nylon. The adjustments available for inboard are in increments of 1/3 cm.
Concept II or other makes of sleeve can be fitted on request if required.
The standard weight of an aluminium scull is 2.1kg per scull.
