This is the distance we find best for the stroke geometry in this hull. If they are set farther abaft you get less reach forward with the oar. Farther forward and it is too tight.
There is a lot of variation of opinion on the best distance, this is our opinion and our boat.
This weekend we will be sanding the interior to prep for varnish and working on the oars.
Here is a picture of the oar blanks (and a Greenland paddle). The Ash and cherry look good together.
