Does it really matter if a few pounds of excess weight creep into your build?  Rowed Trip, Colin and Julie Angus's account of their voyage from Scotland to Syria in his-and-her Expedition row...

@Dean Godshall I didn't. You're going to glass the hull anyway, so if the finger joints were well saturated it won't be a problem.

@Colin Angus Thank you. 

Wow, your boat is looking fantastic!   I'm glad it's coming together so well for you - looks like good precision cnc work.  Do you have your own CNC machine?  Thanks for sharing...

Hi Dean - The procedure is a little different for finger joints compared to those building from scratch.  When building from plans, the jointing method doesn' t use finger joints, instead it r...

In the direction for applying epoxy on finger joints the secion for kits does mention doing both sides after 24 hour cure. However the section for people building from scratch it does. Should the k...

I am really impressed with the layout and plans for this boat. I ordered the plans set and CNC cut my own parts with the DXF files supplied. Using all 1/4 inch 1088 merante plywood for the build so...

I am in the planing stage of building the row cruiser and see you may have some parts I came use. Can you let me know what is still available. Please feel free to PM me to discuss. 

@Bill Hutton  Wow that looks great! Really like the light blue/gray combo, pretty sure that a latex would work for the top part:)  With the hatches I have no experience, sorry. About t...

I have not considered a wavebreaker.  Good idea thought. "Cabin" is coming along.  I need to tape the blue and finish the gray.  I decided to go on strike for the blue - Behr outdoo...

Hi Steve,  Yes, the sailing rowcruiser is a a fun versatile boat.  I also really enjoy just using the central hull as a rowing boat - as a quick and easy way to get out onto the water.&nb...

I am in the early stage of planning, but I am really thinking the RowCruiser sailing version would be great for my needs, instead of the small sluggish sailboat that I have. I do love to overnight ...

@Bill Hutton  Hi Bill, what a great step to glue the decks:D did it come out as you hoped? Any pictures??? I really needed the extra space for my legs so it was an easy decision.  Ha...

I'm impressed.  That's an inventive solution.  I just finished the decks two days ago, so I guess I won't copy your idea.  Unfortunately. The boat looks great, nice detailing!&nbs...

@Bill Hutton  Hi Bill, Not sure if it helps but I can tell you my choice on that matter. I thought the space would be poorly accessible from the inside so I choose to go with the "normal" ha...

Hi,  I see this is a year old post, which means you're probably finished your boat.  What did you end up doing with the bow hatch and do you like what you've done?   Thanks.

If by any chance you're still going to sell her my dad and I would be interested! We've been thinking about trying to modify the plans to build a two-seater to do the r2ak. Alternatively if you hav...

Thank you so very much, Colin!
