The oarlock prototype will be fitted to the test dinghy, so it is quite possible to actually test the prototype in the environment that it would exist in a real life situation. Oars can be fitted to the locks and adjusted to the tester’s specifications. The vessel will be placed in a suitable amount of water, and the tester will attempt a rowing action using the adjustable oarlocks. If the product performs without breaking or otherwise compromising the overall abilities of the prototype, then the design brief will have met with the specifications. The adjustable oarlocks can be removed and tested against the normal set, and if it is indeed easier to row with the adjustable set over the original set, then it can be determined that the project was a success.
