Oar Storage on CS 20

[Terry Dunn]

In order to have a place to put the oars when they are not in use and yet have them readily available I hung them under the side decks. The oars are spoon blade spruce 9' long.

Neat work, Terry! I'll be interested to know how well 9' oars work on the CS20. I decided they needed to be longer, and finding long oars awkward to store, I made a pair with paint roller extension handles that telescope from 6' to 12', screwing on blades made from leftover 3/8" ply. After a few times out, I find they are poorly balanced and rather flexible, but I decided to weight the looms and keep them, since I don't expect to need them often.
