R2AK Stage 2, Days 6 & 7

by Angus Rowboats

The weekend brought steady progress for many boats. Two more boats crossed the finish line yesterday, bringing the total in Ketchikan to 5. That leaves 23 boats still out there including all under 20 foot boats.

For the small boats, Team Discovery is still in the lead and if he makes it, which barring a mishap, he surely will, it’ll be the second time Roger Mann is the first boat under 20 feet to reach the finish line. Did we also mention that he holds the speed record for fastest solo completion of the R2AK. Hard core. Which is definitely how one would describe the second place small boat in the race, the SUP Heart of Gold. Incredibly Karl Kruger has almost reached Bella Bella. Much of the difficult terrain is now behind him and barring an injury or mishap, he stands a good chance of not only completing the R2AK but doing it in an astonishingly fast time. Go R2AK racers go!

Human Powered Achievements through the Northwest Passage

by Julie Angus

At Angus Rowboats, our passion for adventure naturally draws us to the mystique of the Northwest Passage – one of the world's most captivating and perilous waterways. Historically, this elusive passage promised a shorter shipping route, spurring early navigators to fervently chart and struggle through its icy intricacies.

The summer of 2023 saw three audacious teams, including one using our very own RowCruiser boats, aiming to be the first to traverse NW Passage solely by human power within a single season. As the season concludes, we've chronicled these attempts, and catalogued past human-powered endeavors to navigate the Northwest Passage.

Creating a Bookcase from a Boat

by Colin Angus

A good boat is a versatile boat. Our wheelbarrow boat is good in and out of the water. It can be used to haul bags of concrete around the construction site, is a vehicle to go crabbing with the kids, or it can be transformed into an elegant bookcase.

Our boat kits are shipped from the PNW, and delivered to customers in the US and Canada. Due to prohibitive shipping costs, we do not ship our boat kits outside of North America. Building from plans is one alternative, however, some would prefer to build from a kit.
