I have remembered the wonders of the Internet Wayback Machine! With this wonderful device I was able to get all my old copy.

I’m getting to know the WordPress system and have added a few details and images.

Most of my old information and copy is on a back up disk that is currently in a shipping container, so some details will wait until that arrives. I didn’t really want to re-write everything!

New contact details do work, so you can now email me at jonny@trophyoars.com

After a few years hiatus, Trophyoars.com is back.

I haven’t been idle since the old site went of line. Despite not being visible I have still continued to hand paint trophy oars (and other types of paddles, including outrigger canoe and dragon boat!), but was mostly doing it for a smaller audience closer to my home club.

Now I have moved countries for work and find myself much closer to one of the major homes of rowing – London.

I’ll be slowly sorting out this website and also getting to know the local rowing community. You can contact me about oars at any time and I would be more than happy to look at any project that you might have.
