I bought a used Van Duyne and I am in need of a set of 9' oars. Any clues on where to find them. Any web site or catalog? I am from Long Island NY Thanks Bob

Robert, Try Barkley sound oars @ http://barkleysoundoar.com The website is simple but they make very good oars and are very reasonable as far as price goes, they also have a great selection. I've had a pair of 7.5' laminated spoon blade oars for years and they work great.

The NRS company has Carlisle oars that I have seen used with Hankins Sea Skiffs and other boats similar to the Van Dyne. www.nrsweb.com

I've built a web page with all the oar sellers that I could find on the web.
