X3 Ocean | xcell-rowing-limited

The Rowing Oar Shaft

100% carbon fibre tube with Kevlar reinforcement.

v A unique manufacturing process for Xcell Oars and

Sculls.

Kevlar wrap overlays the carbon tube at the points

of maximum stress.

The Kevlar overlays deliver a loom of exceptional

lightness and impact resistance.

A two-section X3 oars shaft is now available. This

is the ideal back-up for our conventional one-section

oars shafts, more easily stored in-board rather than

external to the gunwale. These is a fully tested and

reliable back-up, but not recommended as an

exclusive replacement to our conventional X3 oars.

The Macon Scull Blade

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.

Sleeves and Collars

Manufactured to Xcell’s design and tooling to fit the standard ‘Concept’ gate.

Sleeves are in “dayglo” yellow; collars are black.

Fixed Wooden Handles

Made only from best quality Ash Wood.
Xcell only recommend fixed handles for Ocean Rowing.
Adjustable handles can result in a loss of power, as
efficiency is reduced through the lateral movement at the point of the adjustable handle connection.
An adjustable handle allows water ingress.
Adjustable handles can be supplied upon request.
