Croker Oars and Sculls Technical Information

In the spring of 2008, we fielded numerous inquiries from Croker users who had been unsuccessfully attempting to use excessively short overall lengths, inboards and boat spreads.

Upon further investigation, it came to our attention that certain persons unaffiliated with Croker were offering inaccurate suggestions in their presentations at coaches' conferences for rigging settings of our oars. Given that the information they provided was completely inconsistent with all documented successful use of Crokers, at all levels, we surmise the misinformation appears to either be the result of no actual use of Crokers by these persons, or a deliberate attempt on their part to stack any comparisons in favor of other products by providing ineffective numbers for Croker oars.

We encourage you to ignore these persons, and to reject their "advice" in favor of ours. The rigging numbers we provide are gleaned from successful crews across all levels of rowing.

We know that when you win with Crokers, you'll spread the word and that will grow our business. We don't need to trick you into rowing someone else's oars poorly. You should try all brands of oars as each company's official literature recommends. We're confident that we'll be the one you continue to work with.
