Quiet Power & Premium Control on the Water
The Cataract® SGG™ Oar Shaft with Rope Wrap and Stop takes the industry's most popular composite oar and upgrades it for the ultimate rowing experience. Built with a filament-wound glass/carbon/epoxy composite, it offers twice the breaking strength of aluminum while maintaining the beloved, natural flex of a wood oar.
This upgraded version features a tight rope wrap that cushions your rowing motion, ensuring incredibly quiet, smooth strokes while protecting the shaft from oarlock wear. Paired with an adjustable rubber oar stop, you get optimal positioning and superior control in rowdy whitewater or calm drifts.
- Quiet & Protected: The rope wrap minimizes rattle, improves lock traction, and prevents premature shaft wear.
- Adjustable Oar Stop: Includes a rubber oar stop that rolls onto the rope wrap for customized, locked-in positioning.
- Superior Strength to Weight: 60% lighter than aluminum but twice as strong.
- Indexed Grip: A thumb-notched handle ensures you always know your blade's orientation without taking your eyes off the river.
- Universal Compatibility: Fits 1 5/8" diameter shank blades like Cataract™, Magnum II™, and Cutthroat™ (sold separately).
Note: Shaft lengths reflect the final overall length when combined with a standard 27" blade (sold separately).
