I have an Alden 18 with carbon oars. It is falling apart. I found another one at a silly low price, and bought it. It came with two pair of fiberglass oars. I am now using the "new" one with my old oars while I try to rehab the old one.
As long as i have multiple oars and oar masters, I would like to try using it as a double.
So, would we both have to use fiberglass oars, or is it okay to mix fiberglass with carbon?
Reason I ask... someone is looking for a pair of oars, and I can recoup much of my investment on the second boat by selling a pair of fiberglass oars; but I don't want to lose my ability to use it as a double.
