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.
