A stern rowlock (UK) or forcola (IT) for Venetian rowing boats with its eight different points of control (Venice - Italy).


A stern oarlock or forcola (plural forcole) photographed in the studio on a white background. Usually made of walnut, forcole are used in traditional Venetian boats. It exists three great kinds of forcole: the prow forcola, the stern forcola and the side one. They are unlike any other types of oarlocks because of the unique upright rowing position of the oarsman, facing forward. Une tolet de poupe ou forcola (pluriel forcole) photographié en studio sur fond blanc. Habituellement faites de noyer, les forcole sont utilisées dans les traditionnels bateaux Vénitiens. Il existe trois grandes sortes de forcole: la forcola de proue, la forcola de poupe et celle de côté. Elles ne ressemblent à aucun autre type de tolets en raison de la position unique du rameur, debout face à l'avant.
