Re: Wherry oarlock risers

Just make the risers higher. Making them longer will yield the stiffness needed as they get higher.

The original Thames Wherries on which the Annapolis Wherry is based had a similar problem, which they solved with tall and distinctively flared oarlocks. I don't think the Annapolis Wherry's risers need to be that tall, but it gives you the idea.
