An apparatus for removing oil slicks from the surface of the water includes 2 independently pivotable booms connected together to form a V. A paddle wheel is connected to the 2 booms across the open end of the V for skimming the oil off the surface of the water and forcing the oil toward the apex of the V. A sump is located at the apex of the V for collecting the oil forced to the apex of the V by the paddle wheel. A flexible stabilizer bar is connected between the 2 booms for stabilizing the booms and limiting the maximum amount that the booms may pivot with respect to each other. (5 claims)
