@Loren Kelley do add some photos here - even for those of us across the pond and not looking to buy, it is always nice to see how other owners have "tweaked" their own boats.  Always somethin...

Beautiful! Loving the paint detail at the bow and the way you bring it to a sharp point - might have to pinch that idea!

@David Martin See my earlier post about the Topper rig I inherited on the SRC I bought. I would have thought that Topper sails & parts are pretty common in NZ, as they are in so many parts of t...

Are you referring to the amas/akas in the Sailing Rowcruiser version? The detailed plans for these can, I believe, be bought separately in the "conversion kit" plans, available at: https://angusro...

Great to see it in the flesh - and would love to see some internal pics, or even a video! The 4mm ply on the curved panels & keeping the 6mm to the minimum was, for me, the right decision- as w...

While I haven't yet tried them with the rowcruiser, I have of C-Tug SandTrakz kayak trolley which I use for both my kayaks and a heavier Spearfish 550 SIP with outboard etc. mounted. The rowcruiser...

Very much enjoying the forum, and lots of great knowledge being built within its pages. Regarding New Product Requests - my request is that rather than any specific new products, I am wondering whe...

@Michiel Kommer Liking the solution - I wonder wher this variant would be worth including with the Angus SRC plans! While I bought plans with the intention of self-building, a pre-built came up fo...

Seats are just sitting there. Bulkheads are all wired in. Shear clamps in the bow are matched.  Winding sticks said the boat was a tiny bit twisted, so I clamped them in place and hung another...

Hello Thomas - Yes we did do some development with a prototype sliding rigger system, but those efforts have been put on hold for a bit.  Overall, the beneifits of slidng rigger systems are gr...

I seem to remember seeing that Colin had done some experiments with a sliding rigger. Were the results of those tests ever published? Would it be worthwhile to attempt fitting one into a row cruise...

Hi Hank, Okay, that makes sense.  There is a subtle difference between rowing a shell and a larger recreational sliding seat boat, and what you've experienced is the main one.  Having hi...

I know I said progress would be slow, but I got excited and took the week off work. Bulk heads are temporary and will need fitting and wiring in. No progress next week until the weekend possibly

Hi Colin - Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm comparing to what I expected based on rowing the club's boat. The instructor I had emphasized that your hands should slide back and forth like they are s...

Hello Hank, It's very hard to say if anything is wrong from your description.  The fact of the matter is most people starting out with sliding seat rowing find it awkward and challenging - es...

Let me preface this by admitting that I am a novice rower. I've taken one introductory class from a local rowing club, but that is the extent of my on-water rowing experience. I also own a Concept ...

This is the sailing version.  It has features that make it more practical in some ways than the original design.  I built it in 2020-21 as a Covid project and have enjoyed overnight outin...

thanks, I did use a 1" radius, but wasn't sure. and thank you for the quick response, I appreciate it. -C  

@constance radke It sounds like your bow fillet will be just fine.  From a structural standpoint, the bow fillet doesn't need to have much more epoxy than the frame/bulkhead fillets.  We ...
