Choosing the Right Blade

Here's what we know about blade design:

  • A blade that slips less in the water loses less of the work generated at the handle.
  • Changing the shape, curvature, features at the tip will impact blade interaction with the water.
  • As a blade becomes more effective it will generate more load and require a decrease in oar length.
  • As blade designs have become more efficient, controlled testing has indicated improved performance speeds.
