About us
With many parallels between wodden rowing oars and yacht spars, namely the use of the best quality Sitka Spruce, it only a matter of time before this market found Collars. Enterprise and Wayfarer dinghies were the first in a long line of classes that relied on Collars to produce spars after the post-war boom in small dinghies and family boats. With the introduction of Carbon Fibre rowing oars in the mid '80's, the demand for wooden oars declined leaving Collars to focus their attention on yacht spars. Today this accounts for 85% of the business and with the move to larger premises in 2002, Collars capacity has increased to match the revival in the classic yacht market.
