    Hi,

    I just bought a 12 foot rubber dinghy and need oars for it.
    As cheap as possible.

    Where should I look?

    where are you based? Any decent chandlers will have some. Please be careful if you plan on using the dingy in open water.

    Dublin (Southside) but will shop anywhere or online.

    Chandler you say, that's my new word for the day so :)

    I will be careful in open water, I have jackets and the dinghy takes two sets of oars.

    Viking Marine in DL or Windmill in Monkstown. There's also one in Bullock Harbour but the name eludes me. Watch out for wind and tide as rowing a little inflatable isn't easy and the tracking is even worse.

    Western Marine is in Bulloch Harbour - much cheaper than the guys in Dun Laoghaire.

    You could try marineparts.ie in Swords, but I dont see any oars on the website

    Thanks for all the replies,

    I picked some up at www.chmarine.com

    They had the cheapest shipping (e7) and are based in Ireland.

    I picked up an anchor, some chain amdn a repair kit.
