But of course you don't have misconceptions you simply make it up, unfortunately your blathering is simply "ignorance in action'. Wilbur: The proper length for your dinghy oars is short enough to fit inside the boat. ONE of the attributes of a proper-length dinghy oar is that it fits into the length of the dinghy. Get a clue and stop twisting my words. I hadn't believed that you were actually as stupid as you just proved yourself. I guess that proves that you should never underrate your opponents abilities. The "attribute" of an oar is that it reaches the water..... (Oars originated for, and are still used today, as a devise to propel a boat (through the water). Certainly it may have other attributes such as weight, shape of blade, material of which it is made, etc, but fitting inside the boat is not one of them. Your argument is about as logical as saying that the mast should not be longer then the length of the cockpit....because that is where you want to keep it when you aren't using the sails. Cheers, Bruce OK, Brucie-poo, you just are not the authority you seem to think you are and you are definitely ill-informed as to the matter of length of oar. Do you know of the highly-respected cruising sailor named Eric Hiscock? Certainly, you would have to admit that Sir Eric knows a thing or two about dinghies and dinghy oars. Here is what he has to say about them in "Cruising Under Sail" page 498: "Oars ought to be as long as possible, provided they will lie within the dinghy when not in use . . ." Uh huh! Just as I said. There, take THAT and ruminate upon your abject ignorance and laughable arrogance. Wilbur Hubbard |

... I think you are repeating yourself as I just answered your first message on that subject. Considering how thick your skull is at times, saying something twice might be the preferred way to get it through. Wilbur Hubbard |
