Ever wonder what the Kayak boys do with their paddles that are about 7
ft. long, and them with a cockpit that is an 18 inch hole in the top
of the boat.


Gosh, but you're sure not ashamed to display your stupidity.

Wake up! We are talking about dinghies as in yacht tenders. Kayak's have
nothing to do with the discussion other than make you appear even more
uninformed than usual.

Changed your tune a bit. Now it is ONLY oars in rubber dinks? A sudden
change isn't it. Before it was "OARS"

But my argument remains. If you are talking about "oars" as apposed to
"paddles" then the determining factor is still that (assuming that you
intend to row with them) is that they reach the water. A flat ended
stick that is too short to use with the supplied locks is simply some
form of paddle; or just a piece of junk.

I suppose the confusion, on your part, is that you have never really
rowed a boat for any period of time and "oars" are simply just another
impediment to be stored in the dink while you motor around the
anchorage with your new outboard.

And you a sailorman too.
