After struggling to dryfit the cockpick coaming in place, I compared the supplied coaming to the drawing and noticed that the notch/curve is very different.  Am I supposed to cut the shape fro...

Thanks this is exactly what I needed.  I started my build 15 days ago and am just about done - planning to get it on the water tomorrow!  It's all come together really well.

@Eric Miller Hi Eric, Thank you for this input. Unfortunately the Hobie parts are very expensive in Germany, so I decided to use two simple lugger sails. I hope to finish the Rowcruiser next mont...

Hello Paul - You're right.  We need to post this information in a more visible location.  Here is the information we have on mounting the riggers: Positioning the Sliding Seat System for...

I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I've searched for a while and can't find it - what are the instructions for mounting the rigger on the Expedition rowboat?  The printed instructions refer t...

Hello Colin, I think you are grasping the problem. I agree that I have to give my stringer a slight upwards curve. I've a mitigation: I will make two faux-side-panels, and fix them in position wi...

Okay, I think I get what you're saying (very nice clear description by the way).  I just read through the manual to refamiliarize with the process (and, by the way, my earlier comment was slig...

Hello Colin. Thanks for the prompt reply. I still haven't got this straight in my head. I'll list out my thinking below and hopefully you'll be able to spot where I'm going wrong and steer me app...

Hello, The upper longitudinal stringers are now epoxied in place. The cockpit panels are not fixed in place. The strangers where examined using the Bevel Guide at Bulkhead 2 and Bulkhead 3 all ga...
