ABSTRACT:
A support for boat oars to hold the oars in a fixed stationary and at rest position without the use of the rower's hands. The support is of particular use in a single sculling boat and consists of securing oar straps fastened to a bar. An overall riser rod assembly is formed by placing upper and lower riser rods on a connecting rod. The overall riser rod assembly is pivotally connected at one end to a plate attached to the bar and, at the other end, to a plate attached to a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fastened to the structure of the boat. The overall riser rod assembly can be adjusted in length to conform to various boats and rowers. The support is easily lowered to an out of the way location when not in use.
