Craftmanship and Materials Information

GULL 'River' Oars, 'White Water' Oars and 'Striped' Paddles feature Gull's unique laminated shaft with strong AUSTRALIAN ASH on the stressed faces supported by a light weight Fir core. These shafts are almost as strong as solid Ash shafts but are lighter, prettier and much more stable.
GULL River Oars, White Water Oars and Tee Handle Paddles have a HARDWOOD FILLET laminated in the blade tip to resist splitting in arduous conditions.
GULL's new RED BEECH PALM GRIP combines the best of aesthetic looks and pleasant feel with superb craftsmanship to produce a well balanced, contrasting coloured grip that is pleasing to the eye and extra nice in the hand.
NYLON ROWLOCKS Made from strong and wear resistant Nylon these rowlocks come complete with gunwhale ferrules which lock the shank with a half turn.
GULL OAR SLEEVES Made from Black Polyurethane plastic, these sleeves cannot be broken, are very resistant to abrasion, and will last for years. Gull oar sleeves are made in 2 sizes, 1.3/4" and 1.5/8" (44mm and 40mm) to fit perfectly on only Gull oars.
