The Macon style blade became popular in the 1960s and was the most widely used blade type for thirty years. Although most rowers have moved to more efficient asymmetric blades, we still sell Macon blades to a small number of rowers. Macon blades are available in two sizes for both sweep and scull. The Macon blade is best for the 1960s traditionalist.
