Some of the Questions that Zach covered in the Q&A section of this episode

Topic: Oar Feathering

I have convertible oar rights, that when flipped to “feather/spinny mode”, seem to create so much friction against my tuned Cobra oar locks with each feathered oar stroke, that I no longer attempt oar feathering.

Do you have any creative ideas (other than widening the space between the oar lock horns) that could lessen the friction enough so that the oars spin freely enough to allow for easy feathering when the oar right is flipped to “feather/spinny mode"

Topic: Aire Rafts

What is the maintenance like on Aire boats?

Is it time-consuming getting the water out of the floor after each use?

Are they more prone to mold?

How compact can you pack them compared to Sotar Maravia and Hyside?
