I have come to a final decision about patents, and have decided that I am not going to try and get a patent for my paddle blade design - the main reason being that I have too many other things to do just now!
I would like to get back to my original idea of making the design completely accessible to the paddling public. If it is pursued commercially by a company, then it is my financial loss. However, I'm sure that most of the UK sea paddling community knows about it now, so I take credit for the initial work done on the idea.
Therefore, if you would like me to send you a copy of the report (2MBish) then I am happy to. The report contains extensive information on everything I did, including the method for locating the holes, and also photos of the blades. Hopefully there is an image of the 4 blades below which shows 3D CAD models and photos...
If you have any questions, or would like to have a go at making them, then please get in touch.

Interesting stuff.. I wouldn't mind a peek at your final report out of curiousity (robert dot tuley99 {NOSPAM} AT imperial.ac.uk) if you don't mind sending it through. I could also plonk it somewhere online if you wanted to be able to link to it!
Is that the Rob Tuley from the Navigation course at Plasy last year??
