A simple oar-positioning guide that helps keep your blade oriented for the rowing stroke without converting your setup to a pin-and-clip system. The Large Oar Right clamps over a rope wrap or oar sleeve and uses a guide between the horns of an open oarlock to control blade orientation.
Keep the Blade Oriented While You Row
The Large Oar Right combines an oar stop with a guide that sits between the horns of an open oarlock. As the oar moves through the stroke, the guide helps maintain the blade's rowing orientation.
That gives the rower some of the blade-positioning benefit associated with a pin-and-clip setup while retaining an open-oarlock system.
Still Allows You to Feather the Oar
An Oar Right doesn't permanently prevent the oar from rotating. Pulling the oar inward far enough for the guide to clear the oarlock horns allows the oar to rotate and the blade to be feathered when needed.
Works as an Oar Stop
The Large Oar Right also serves as an oar stop. It can be used by itself or positioned to reinforce an existing stop on a compatible setup.
Installs Over Rope Wrap or an Oar Sleeve
The two-piece Oar Right clamps around the protected working section of the oar using stainless-steel bolts. It can be installed over a compatible rope wrap or molded oar sleeve.
The Large size adjusts to fit oars measuring 2" to 2 1/4" in diameter at the installation point.
Molded Glass-Filled Nylon
The Oar Right is constructed from molded glass-filled nylon and uses stainless-steel clamping bolts.

Large Oar Right FAQs
What does an Oar Right do?
The Oar Right combines an oar stop with a guide that fits between the horns of an open oarlock. The guide helps maintain the orientation of the oar blade during the rowing stroke.
What size oars does the Large Oar Right fit?
The Large Oar Right adjusts to fit oars measuring 2" to 2 1/4" in outside diameter at the installation point.
Do I measure the bare oar shaft?
Measure at the point where the Oar Right will actually be installed. Because it is designed to install over a rope wrap or sleeve, that outside diameter is what determines fit.
Can it install over a rope-wrapped oar?
Yes. The Large Oar Right is designed to install over compatible rope wrap or an oar sleeve.
Can it install over an oar sleeve?
Yes, provided the outside diameter at the sleeve falls within the Large Oar Right's 2" to 2 1/4" fit range.
Does the Oar Right replace an oar stop?
It can function as the stop by itself, or it can be used to reinforce an existing stop.
Does an Oar Right permanently lock the blade upright?
No. The guide controls blade orientation while it is between the open oarlock horns. Pulling the oar inward until the guide clears the horns allows the oar to rotate for feathering.
Is this the same as a pin-and-clip rowing system?
No. Both systems can control blade orientation, but the Oar Right is designed to work with an open oarlock rather than converting the oar to a pin-and-clip system.
What is the Large Oar Right made from?
It is made from molded glass-filled nylon and clamps together with stainless-steel bolts.
Does it include an oarlock or oar sleeve?
No oarlock or oar sleeve is listed as included with the Large Oar Right.
