	An Improvement to Rowing a Boat, Canoe, Scull, or Crew
		For this discussion, consider the distance from the oarlock to the rower's hands to be 3.3 feet and the oar is 10 feet long.
		The fact that the oarlock supports are a foot higher allows the oars to slope slightly downward to allow the oars to enter the water over the craft body.
		Because the proposed improved boat has its oarlock on the opposite side of the craft, oars that are 15 feet long would be used, and this geometrical angle situation is greatly improved.

		These excellent oarlocks are made of a strong magnesium, aluminum and copper alloy, that gives them "memory" so the horns can flex slightly to release a crabbed oar but will spring back to their original shape.
		Wider horns mean less stress on the oars at the oarlock, and elongated oval opening gives rower more vertical range of motion without the oar jamming between the horns.
		Large ring rides on the oar shaft and smaller one fits under the oarlock to fasten the oar to the raft.

		An oar is held by a rower at.35m from the oarlock.
		That is to say the force times the lever arm on one side of the oarlock must be the same as on the other side.
		:-) Now the force on the oarlock is the sum of the push of the person on the oar which is 80N AND the reaction of the water on the oar which is ~22N and is IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE 80N push.

	Force sensing system patent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		The oarlock (4) is a support for the oar that rotates about a fixed near-vertical pin (5) situated on an outrigger (6).
		The displacement of the oarlock during the stroke was proportional to the applied force, and this was converted by means of switches into an electrical signal for display to the coxswain.
		There are also obstacles to achieving any degree of accuracy: the direction and point of application of force has wide variability; the athlete's feet may tend to contact with the sides of the hull in a narrow boat, thereby channelling some of the applied force away from the sensing element.

		Although it could be accommodated on the outside of the coaming boards, this oarlock and mount was not selected for this application because the jibsheet winches protrudes above the coaming boards and could interfere with the full motion of the oars if the oarlocks were mounted in the vicinity of the winches.
		Similarly the oarlock and mount featured in photo #03 could not be installed near the winch without potential interference, and would require a modification of the coaming board to support the mount.
		In that event, the oarlock should be mounted on a raised block and through bolted to the port side of the backstay opposite the flag pole holder.
