I was riding the bus home from work, scrolling through my phone, and came across spin mama. I thought I’d give it a quick try, and I actually ended up really liking it. The site gives daily b...

That sounds like an amazing plan — the Aegean coast is truly a stunning place for any expedition! Colin gave great advice regarding training and realistic daily mileage. From our experience,...

Big excitement !!

I purchased two masts for the O'pen  skiff per the directions and finally got the nerve to modify one of them to be the mizzen mast. I was very careful where I made the cut, but I found that s...

Small batches of resin are easier to measure by weight unless you are using syringes with volume markings.  I put a sheet of disposable plastic over my scale, or put the whole scale in a plas...

I've become interested in building an Angus boat but still deciding between the rowcruiser, expedition and wherry. I am a wannabe builder but have some experience with composite layup. I am self-ta...

Hi, Paul - I'm interested in your boat. Please let me know if it still available or not.  Thank you,  Kent

Just getting started with the amas. We'll see how it goes.   

Greetings-  I am intrigued with your boat. Do you happen to have more photos. Since I have more experience with plywood boats, can you explain to me how you have made connections and reinforci...

@john mahoney HI John The boat is still available. Sorry about the slow response. I'm not very tech savvy either... Craig

@Craig Miller I'm not too tech savvy. I found says a month old is the boat still available? Thanks john

@Paul Hook Thanks! I also like the idea of the single loops with nylon webbing for supporting the heels. It sounds like I will need to do a little experimentation to see what works best.

Hello - I'm currently planning building a Rowcruiser and I'm still uncertain if I should build from precut CNC from a company in England, or buy Okume plywood (they call it Okouplex - Okoumeplywood...

@Paul Airey Definitely.  There is a technique to it, especially on the return slide.  I imagine it could go sideways (figuratively) if you were really trying to move hard and quick, but I...

@Paul Hook Just a thought that might or might not be applicable to on the water rowing but as a long term C2 model B rower I row without straps. It takes some getting used to but prevents the tempt...

That is very nice.  Well done. I am in Livingston, MT, and dream of building the same boat and using it in Grand Teton and Yellowstone NP, Flathead lake, etc. I know that Jackson Lake is more...

This is for a different boat with a different primary use, but I experimented with several options when I built a DIY sliding seat rowing frame for a skin on frame wherry (Dave Gentry's "Ruth"). I ...

A couple of pictures of me rowing on Jackson Lake, Wyoming. As you can see, I have now added a rudder to help compensate for wind. No breeze today, so I left the rudder up and the daggerboard stowe...

@Adam Riley Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into the Durham heel cups and wakeboard straps.

I also had this issue on my most recent trip. It got so bad after a week or so that rowing became almost excruciating. I purchased some fixed "heel cups" that can be found online at durham rowing a...
