I will email you some PDF plans that go with our kits (which use the same processes) that will help you to visualize the process.

Hello Maureen, Yes, that's correct - the DXF layers called "pockets" should be routed as pockets.  The depth should be fifty percent of the wood thickness.  These pockets are used to joi...

I've been working with a CNC shop to get Rowcuiser kit pieces created. The dxf file has a layer called "pocket", which I think is green. Should this layer be routed as a pocket? If so, what depth s...

Kitting out your boat for expeditions involves careful planning to ensure you have the necessary equipment and supplies for a safe and enjoyable journey. Whether you're planning a short day trip or...

Does anyone know of a source for Okoume plywood in the greater Boise, Idaho area?  I've had no luck here on that yet.

Yes, quite a number of people have outfitted the expedition with a small sail - similar to what you see on kayaks.  A popular sail used are those made by Falcon.  Here's a video with an E...

Something like a kayak sail.  And if so, would a beam reach be possible with a leeboard? I'm sorry, I know it's not the intended use, but I can't help myself from asking.  I see a lot of...

@Colin Angus For boat builders in the Inland Northwestern US (eastern Washington, north Idaho, and western Montana), a great resource for boat building wood products, including all sizes of Okoume ...

Hi Joachim - hey, yes I'd like to be notified when you sell Kairos4Two! I'm the one who just didn't have enough cash to swing the deal when you were leaving Seattle with Kairos the first! By the ti...

@Colin Angus thanks for the kind comments, I definitely tried hard to do the design proud, it's a pretty boat and I can't wait to get it on the water. As for the colour scheme, well it had to be Ox...

Hello Steph.  Thanks for sharing your experiences with building the Oxford Wherry.  She's a beaut!!  I love your color scheme too.  And the Douglas fir gunwales look great. ...

Again, here in the UK, an option in the south is the shop I used for my Oxford Wherry build. Rob was interested in the project, cost came to a very reasonable £394 (Jan '23) for material (2x...

So, at the end of last year in the depths of winter and after settling on the Oxford Wherry design, I pulled the trigger and bought plans. At this point, I suppose I should explain that a key part...

Interesting to hear that. I'll look into it and see if there's some kind of an error.  I'm glad to hear it worked out for you.  

For what it's worth, I realized that I had some spare plywood I could use to cut out the version from the plans and compare - it fit MUCH better so I modified the kit coaming to match the plans, an...

I ended up buying two inflatable beach rollers. Oh, my word, they are fantastic. Just roll the boat up the beach - easy !

Morning Tom.  Apologies for the confusion.  Some of the pieces have changed slightly from the initial plans version to the kit version.  Tweaks have been made for economy of wood or ...
