Oar length
Concept:	The length of the oar is set at the inboard handle. By adjusting the length of the oar and keeping the gearing and span/spread fixed, the overlap/overshoot can be adjusted. Also see: Gearing (force) Span (sculling) Spread (sweep rowing) Overlap (sculling) Overshoot (sweep rowing)
Sizes:	Measured in centimeters. Sweep oar: 367cm – 375cm Scull oar: 280cm – 291cm
Effect:	+ The distance traveled by the blade in the water becomes longer. – The distance traveled by the blade in the water becomes shorter.
Measure:	Using a tape measure or adjustment scale on the oar. The length is measured from the center of the blade to the end of the handle.

Adjust:	Loosen the clamp screw, adjust the handle, and tighten the clamp screw again.
