Oars ... for when your real motor gives out!

I have a 14' Lund, what length oars should I have? (Right now I just have a paddle on board).

I've read the following at the aforementioned site:

There are no set rules for oar length. However, if youâ€™re thinking more traditionally, there is a formula that can help you determine the correct oar length for your boat: Determine the distance in inches between your boatâ€™s oarlocks, divide by 2 and then add 2 inches. Divide this number by 7 and then multiply by 25. Divide this final number by 12 to determine the oar length in feet.
