Annapolis - recommended oar length for gunnel mounted oarlocks?

I'm a new owner of an older Annapolis build. My skiff came with the Alden Row Wing which works well. However, I'm curious about outfitting it with traditional oars and oarlocks so that my two youngsters (8 and 10 yo) can row it as a tandem. Can anyone recommend the proper oar length for this arrangement?

   John Harris wrote a great article about oar length for Wooden Boat mag not so long ago. maybe he can send you a copy.

   Thanks - I found the issue # on woodenboat.com. I'll see if I can dig it up at the local library.
