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.

Sleeves and Collars

 

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

•  

• Highest quality, low friction ABS and Polyurethane plastics.

•  

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

Dimensions and Weight

 

• Oar Weight: 2.3 kg

•

The Macon Scull Blade
 

 

• Constructed with a high density epoxy foam core.

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.
