Maury S Posted July 31, 2013 #1 Posted July 31, 2013 Hi folks. I asked this on my Longboat log and thought I'd repeat it here. Does anyone know the appropriate length of the oars used on a 26' longboat (mid 18th cen.) Maury Quote Current diversion: Anchor Hoy c 1815 - 1825 1:48 scale Recent Builds: Fair American: 18th C.

Maury S Posted July 31, 2013 Author #3 Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) David, Thank you. That gives the sizes for boats (based on breadth). Just what I needed. With a breadth of 8', the oars should be 20', just what Chuck designed into the kit.
