5.8 Using Oars and the Rowing Kit
The RS Tera Rowing Kit may be purchased from LDC Racing Sailboats or
from your local RS Dealer, enabling you to use your sailing boat as a tender
or small rowing vessel. The oars simply locate in the rowlock holes in the
gunwhale.
To locate and lock the oars in position, push the spigot in the rowlock hole (fig
5.8) and rotate the complete oar, so that the paddle is over the cockpit and the
handle is over the side of the boat. As you turn the oar into the correct
position, with the paddle over the side and the handle over the cockpit, you
will feel the oar lock into place (fig 5.9). The oar will not pull out. To release
the oar, reverse the procedure.
