Regatta fees and not in a good way. An American buddy of mine was whining over the weekend about Rowfest fees. $119 for a 1x, $299 for 4x. Seems in 2021 is was $74 and $202
Yes costs rise but it looks like stateside US Rowing is slowly killing the Golden Goose

What, yes, it's a service that allows you to post oars that you have but don't need and oars that you need because someone broke one. Only for the UK and Ireland but a good idea as these things are expensive and having a set of 7 sweeps or only a port scull is pretty useless.

it weighs 106g (4 oz), orientates your blade perfectly at square and feather, slow to wear, doesn't jam up (SS gate arm and brass nut insert) and the little silver nylock nut stops it clamping up too much on the oar shaft.
Lastly you can adjust the oar pitch using the little inserts.
Brilliant!

The humble oarlock. The $25 to $30 a pair part that connects your $1000 pair of oars to your $15000 single scull.
Lasts a long time, hardly ever breaks even in extreme circumstances and is an engineering delight designwise
Take some time to let your oarlocks know you appreciate them.
