Looking down the length of the 18-foot-long sweep oar. By making sideways strokes, we found the boat quite easy to manoeuvre.

what are the dimensions of the oars besides the length being 18ft , what is the width of the blade or the length of shaft thicknes on oar

The oars are 14′ long (the sweep oar is a bit longer at 18’10” long). At their thickest point, they are about 6″ thick on a side (they are square) and taper down to about 3″ thick. The blades are about 4′ long, 1.5″ thick and taper from about 6″ wide to 3″. The oars are 40 pounds or so, with the sweep oar weighing about 5 lbs more.
Any other questions, send them in! 🙂
