Hi all, I recently finished building and installing the sliding seat rowing system to convert a sailing canoe into a sliding seat rower. From my brief experience with sliding seat rowing/sculling,...

You could look at small boat or kayak trailers and adjust them to fit your rowcruiser. Many people start with a basic trailer and add bunks, supports, a winch for boat, or rollers so the boat rides...
Issues with CNC plans for the Oxford Wherry can be frustrating, especially for builders who rely on precision. Even small errors in measurements or alignment can affect the whole project. Clear doc...
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are taken seriously in my home territory (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming), and mandatory inspections are routine. Yellowstone National Park and the Flathead River Wate...
Sounds like you're making some great progress. Overall, you should be okay for having enough gap between the bottom of the boat and the lowest point on the seat. This is actually called...
I have glued the frame, cut and tuned the slot, and now am shaping the frame bottom to fit the hull. I'm getting a little nervous about how much I'm taking off on the tips and tails, while st...
This may be a silly question, but has anyone found 20 yds of fiberglass insufficient for the Rowcruiser? I'm just getting to the exterior glassing, which I understand will take 42 ft of glass. The ...

Hi Craig, I'm pretty interested in your boat. The only sticking point is that I'm in BC. Is there any way to get the boat to you in Oregon now that you've left already? Than...
Oops, I forgot to ask- I was planning on leaving all three seats removable, is that ok structurally?
Looking for recommendations for paints. Any favorites? Ones that hold up particularly well?
Thank you. I hadn't thought of Edensaw for shop work. I'll keep that in my next time I plan a road trip out there. Paul
Alternative building materials are an exciting step toward more sustainable and cost-effective construction. Options like bamboo, recycled plastics, rammed earth, and hempcrete not only reduce envi...
How do you modify the cambridge racer to be split in two for storage?
Hello, I recently discovered the Angus sailing rowcruiser and I am considering to buy the plans. Has anyone modified the sail plans to include a wishbone boom similar to the Wyliecat, Nonsuch, Naia...
