The Xcell X 7 Coastal Sweep Oar and Scull

The Loom

Option One

• Highest quality 100% carbon fibre roll wrap lay-up.
• Unique “Twill” double-wrap carbon fibre overlays to the areas of maximum stress along the loom so providing addition strength without incremental weight.
• Loom construction has focused specifically upon achieving a stiff carbon shaft of exceptional lightness and impact resistance.

Option Two

• High quality roll wrap 70% carbon fibre with 30% glass reinforced plastic.
• The mix of carbon and GRP ensures a less stiff loom with greater deflection making the loom ideal for novice and junior crews.

The Spoons

• Constructed with a high density epoxy foam core.
• Biaxial, unidirectional carbon fibres cured in epoxy resin with a minimal amount of E-glass fibres.
• Epoxy gel-coat hard finish to professional competition yacht standards.
• Spoons can be spray finished to any colour and with competitors club or sponsor logo design. Please request quotations for spraying and club logos on application with order.

Sweep Spoons

• Available options are either Cleaver Smoothie, Cleaver Ridge, large or small Macon Spoons.

Sleeves and Collars

• Manufactured to Xcell’s own design and tooling and made to fit the standard “Concept” gate.
• Highest quality, low friction ABS and Polyurethane plastics.
• Sleeves in “dayglo” yellow: Collars (buttons) are black.

Fixed Wooden Handles

• Made only from best quality Tulip Wood uniquely for Xcell.
• Xcell recommend sweep oars with fixed handles as adjustable handles can loose power as efficiency is reduced through the lateral movement at the point of the adjustable handle connection.
• Adjustable handles can however be supplied upon request.

• Weights:
  Sweep Oar: 3.6kg - 4.2kg - depending on Length.
