| First, you slip the oars into the round oarlocks or, if you're good, those U-shaped locks. |

| Jim was delegated to make the arrangements for boat, oarlocks, oars and confirmation of tide tables. |
| More important than the tilt of the oarlocks are the relative positions of the thwart, the oarlocks and the footbrace. |
