Hi everyone, I’m in the process of building my rowboat and was wondering about the best ways to adjust trim and balance for optimal performance. Since weight distribution plays a huge role i...
@Kellan Hatch Many thanks Keelan. I've advanced the idea a little bit more. I created that flat area for the rub rail to settle on. After removing paint and sanding I built up a flat area with epo...
@Tony Farrell Sorry for the delay, out of country. Thanks for the very helpful analysis. I'll be going over my rig in anticipation of wetsuit season and will supply close-ups as soon as...
@Tony Farrell Great idea. I used a strip of hdpe plastic on one of my boats and that worked pretty well. On my two most recent builds I just layed up 8 layers of fiberglass of diminishing sizes alo...
@Colin Angus I was also missing these parts, so I contacted Brandon. He said they are no longer included in the kit because they were getting broken frequently. Consequently, the grooves into which...
@David E Lee This is hilarious. I have now used all of the parts in my kit except a handful of mystery parts. They are the same ones shown in your picture. We need to start a competiton to see who ...
@David E Lee I'm not overjoyed with the result. My hatches don't quite fit flush. It will be ok, though, I'm going to install them with turnbuttons which will flatten them out and hold them down ti...
Flipped, sanded and primed. I ran out of primer 80% through, so now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for another can to arrive. I'm excited to be in the final stretch. My goal is to be finished a...
Another nailbiting cut into the hull. This time for the bottom of the daggerboard well.
Works well. All the second position material can be removed and a big hatch attaches, so it works as a single too. How do I post a video here? ,
Wow!! I'm just starting my build with the amas and akas, because they are small enough to build in my heated basement until the weather gets more cooperative to use the garage. You've done an amazi...
Hi everyone, The laminating of the akas turned out to be a cinch with the great instructions and using nails to guide the top and bottom boards! But now I'm at the delicate point of cutting them t...
Hello Dennis, Do you plan on bringing the the paint over the sides and onto the deck a bit, or having the line right at the corner/edge of the deck? The latter option is easier. Overal...
I am getting ready to paint and varnish my expedition. It will have white hull , with blue stripe along the gunwales and varnished top. the painted areas will have primer . What is the best order f...
LOL, well, I'm sure I can find use for bonus pieces somewhere! I contacted Brandon at Turn Point design because I need to replace a few parts and I asked him about those strips. He didn't think the...
Hello David, I'm glad you've been able to get most of it figured out. It can be a bit of a jigsaw puzzle starting out. I do believe there may be a few bonus pieces in the kit, that are...
@Kellan Hatch Exactly the photo I was looking for! Thanks for that. It wasn't clear to me how the hatch pieces fit together David
Hi everyone, I finally had the time and space to take everything out of the original kit boxes to inventory all the pieces. It was a bit of a puzzle but it definitely helped me visualize the proje...
