I have a pair of old Avon inflatable dinghy oars which split in half and fit in the gap between the thwart and outside of the hull. This space is probably different in the Hartley boats though. They are shorter than ideal but worth it for being able to stow totally out of the way.

Oars for a Wanderer
I think you probably want yours oars full length to row
comfortably.
We have a 2015 Hartley version of the Wanderer and decided
that we needed both oars and
paddles. So we got Hartley to supply and fit a set of oars.
The oars were 2.25 metres in length.
they fit on the starboard side mostly under the seat but protruding
into the space at the stern. We have not checked how the paddle tips engage
with the spinnaker when dropping it. The pictures showing this are attached.
Hope this helps

Hi Everybody,
I normally use an electric outboard but it seems a little on the heavy side when sailing so was looking to use the Oars that we have but where do you store them when sailing, looks as if they need cutting down ?to fit under the seating area. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Regards Keith ?
