Thanks Ron, I've decided to experiment with oarlock socket placement
before drilling. I installed the sockets on the ends of a board that I can
lay across the width of the boat (athwartship?) and move fore and aft. I
can tie it down with a rope around the outside of the boat, or just hang
from the board in a harness.

Hi potterers,
so...if you have rails on the cockpit...what's everybody doing about
rowing, lock placement and those rails? mine keep me from getting a full
stroke...the stanchions get in the way.
