@Colin Angus Hello , I would be interested in knowing how to evaluate the potential of finding a CNC shop that can handle this kind of work. What are the specs, requirements I'd be asking the...
Hello all I'm posting to see if I can find a potential RowCruiser building partner here in Manitoba. If anyone from Winnipeg is contemplating such a build we should grab a coffee and chat, ...
We are (slowly) preparing for a retirement sailing around the world. I looked at an Oxford Wherry over 2 years ago but wasn't able to go further, now with Fyne Boat Kits able to provide a CNC...
Hello Asier,That sounds like a beautiful region you will be exploring in Turkey. It's hard to say how far you will be able to go each day - it all depends on your fitness level, level of expe...

Sounds like an amazing adventure! If you're up for rowing 300 miles up the Vancouver coast, I'd definitely recommend the Rowcruisers.
Wow! Beautiful cinemetography! Your video not only captures the challenges of extended winter rowing, but the rugged beauty off Vancouver Island.
Hello Joseph - Worry not, it shouldn't be too difficult to resolve this issue. It is a very precise alignment, and is easy for things to shift slightly - especially with such long spars. ...
Today I tried to do the final fitting of the amas/akas and the critical step of drilling and bolting of the akas to the mounts while the amas were in position. I had dry fit the amas to the akas pr...
