Modern sweeps tend to be a little shorter, about 375cm or 12'-4"
Sculls
Overall oar length .... 9'-7" or 9'-10"
Outboard ............................. 6'-11"
Inboard ............................... 2'-11"

Pins for quads and doubles are set a little closer to 60" or 61" so the inboard is a little less at about 2'-10".
