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 ...

First row after painting. Still have some hardware to add before it's complete

Hey Tony. That's great to hear, and I'm glad it seems to be working out in the end. And no need to apologize - it's kind of fun bringing alive the various build proecesses in my mind.&n...
Hello Colin, Short version update: it's a non-issue, the gap is <3mm Long version update: my arms were too short and too few, to hold the deck in place while the camera was recording. So...

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...
