According to Bruce, advantages are: Less crabbing/binding of oar in lock allowing the oar to be feathered through a greater range of motion making it easier to row standing up Consistent contact of oar stop to oar lock throughout range of motion Eliminates interference/grinding of oar stop on oarlock holder Reduced friction between oar and oarlock in all positions No raised logo on bearing surface The new horn design: Allows the oarlock to flex more if an oar is popped so it will return more cl
