Phil I would love to crew for you but a little far for me come from Valparaiso, IN that's 50 mi. SW of Chicago. I have been thinking of adding oar locks to my M15. Keep us posted of you investigation and progress. I was thinking I would need maybe 8' long oars making the case for collapsible ones.

Howzit from Kaneohe Bay? I'm dangerously close to splashing my restored '91 M17 and have options for AUX power; but must wonder if anyone has thought to / or successfully applied oars & locks to the cockpit combings. Or even a transom sweep??? Just checking! We just need to clear our lee shore reef, before we can sail to weather and beyond. Best ideas will be rewarded with an invitation to come over and crew!
