Other options

No luck finding a match? Here are a few more routes for an oar that’s reached the end of the road.

Recycling

Carbon fibre from damaged shafts can be recycled. Our partner extracts longer fibres for reuse in new products, rather than simply grinding it up.

Drop-off is via The Flying Boatman in Twickenham (near Twickenham RC). Contact us to arrange.

Trophy oars

A damaged oar may still look great on a wall. A spoon with a little shaft makes a fitting trophy for your next awards night.

Contact Jonny to arrange.

The Oarphanage

Don’t want to keep storing an oar in good condition? We’ll take it, store it, and keep looking for a match, or use it toward a renovated set for sale, proceeds going to running this site. Unmatched oars may become trophy oars.

Donate an oar

This website is free to use as a community service, but it was not free to set up and has ongoing costs to manage. United Kingdom and Ireland only.

If you find the FindOar service useful, please consider making a small donation to help us keep it running. If you spot a bug then please get in contact with Jonny.
