Take-Down Emergency Oars
When Knocked down the Oars Occupy Small Space in a Boat
When Knocked down the Oars Occupy Small Space in a Boat
Owners of sail or power boats will find the take-down oars shown in the sketch easily made and of value in an emergency far out of proportion to the space occupied in a boat. A pair of ordinary oars was cut as shown, and pipe fittings were attached to the ends to form a detachable joint. When knocked down the oars may be stored in a seat cupboard, or other convenient place.—Contributed by H. E. Ward, Kent, Wash.
