Abstract
A breakdown oar for manually propelling a watercraft manufactured of at least two sections that may be easily joined or separated and the fastener set between the two parts. The sectional nature of the oar allows disassembly or breakdown for transportation or stowage of the oar in a space shorter than the overall length of the oar. The sections may be made of aluminum to reduce weight and provide an overall stronger oar. The reduced weight oar is easier to use following the easy assembly.
