How Oars are Made and Tested

Since 1976, we have been assembled custom oars and sculls using handmade parts right here in our Vermont factory. Learn what goes into building and testing a Concept2 oar.

Inside the Oar Shop

Concept2 Oar Innovation Timeline

1976:The Beginning
The first blades were based on the traditional wood “Macon” oar blades of the day. Our innovation was to produce the oars with composite materials reducing weight and adding durability.
The oar shop crew surrounding shaft number 1000
1977:World Championships Debut
US pair of Anne Warner and Anita DeFrantz are the first to use Concept2 Oars in the World Championships. College crews start using Dreissigacker Racing Oars and experience increases in speed. Orders substantially increase throughout the 1980s.
1991:Big Blade
The Big Blade is developed at Concept2. This asymmetric hatchet-shaped blade is 1–2% faster than existing designs and prominently used during the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
1996:Smoothie Blade
The Smoothie blade results from investigating the effects of curvature and tip angle. Speed testing between the new design and the Big Blade indicates a speed advantage to the new blade.
Oar blade with a Vortex Edge
2001:Vortex Edge
Based on the same principles used in aeronautics, blades with the new Vortex Edge result in increased efficiency during the first part of the drive.
2004:Fat Blade
The Fat blade is developed and released. This blade is 2 cm wider, features the Vortex Edge, and requires a shorter overall oar length. Low i sculls with reduced blade weight and lighter shaft also give scullers a new option with an extremely low swing weight.
2011:Skinny Shaft
The Skinny shaft is developed in collaboration with elite women athletes looking for a softer feel when testing the Fat2 blade. The result is a skinnier shaft with reduced wind resistance.
2015:Bantam Sculls
The Bantam Sculls are developed and released as a low-cost sculling oar. The Bantam Sculls incorporate the injection-molded Bantam blade, a durable plastic option that is 10 cm shorter than a Smoothie2 blade.
New Comp blade on water
2019:Comp Blade
The Comp blade for scull and sweep is introduced: it combines the best elements of our existing designs to create a lightweight, efficient, stable and competitive blade. The blade is wide like the Fat2, short like the Bantam, and rigged long like the Smoothie2.
