Tom B of Michigan did an amazing job incorporating a Hobie Rig into the RowCruiser. A Tandem Island was used for the mainsail and a Mirage sail for the mizzen. As you can see, certain modifications...

Michel G of France used two Laser rigs for his RowCruiser, and reports good results.  The sails are the same size, so he moved the daggerboard aft the forward end of the cockpit to help balanc...

Hello Colin, Thank you very much for the information, and the warning re the width of the Expedition. In a few weeks I'll be at the stage to maybe fashon these handles. I'll keep you posted. Kind...

Hello Tony.  Yes, those handles did come out pretty nicely.  It may work with the Expedition, but one slight problem is the Expedition is much wider and the bow vees out at a greater angl...

@Colin Angus - these the sleekest bow and stern handles ever! I really want to build them into my Expedition.  Can you share the assembly/production method? And how to work with the glass ...

Nice.  Good to hear it's going well.  Yes, I've heard of people getting good results with the smaller skillsaws.  Sounds like the pinncale retirement project - creating an armada of ...

Thanks, this is what I was going to do. I cut using a 4.5" battery powered skillsaw with the blade adjusted to cut 2x the wood thickness. It is easy to control & go around curves. Much, much be...

Hello Austin, It looks like we accidentally didn't include the addendum outlining the tranfer process.  Apologies for that.  I will include those directions right here:   Instruct...

I'm starting an Oxford Wherry build from plans. I have not worked from full size plans before. I have printed the plans and wondering how to most accurately transfer the drawing to the plywood. The...

Hello Joseph, Yes, it looks like it should be okay.  It seems like you're following directions correctly where the thickness of the upper "mounting plates" (the blocks affixed to the akas) ar...

We get good results with Interlux Schooner Varnish.  I've also heard that Pettit Captain's Varnish is excellent as well.

Does anyone have a suggestion for the best varnish to use for the interior and transoms of a wheelbarrow pram.  I plan to paint the outside hull white.

Even with all the mouting plates, the aka just clears the deck in the midline

I made the forward mounting blocks per the figure 5.5 (page 50 of manual), 2" x 6," and was dry fitting everthing together and found that when placed on the mounting blocks the aka touches the deck...

200 grams should work fine for your boat.  I would go for the single weave.  That is what we have always used with good results.  I believe it's about 5.5 meters required to cover th...

I am building the expidtion rowboat i Norway. I could not find the plywood around here so i ordered finished cnc cut plywood from Fyne Boat Kits in England. It took 2 weeks from when i send the cnc...

Hi,  I am building a expedition rowboat. I have ordered and received the CNC cut plywood and am now sourcing the rest of the products to finish the boat.  I am building the boat in Norw...

No problem!  Yeah, the kits are surprisingly compact - it's magic how big of a boat comes out of them.  Thanks for the purchase and let us know if you have any questions throughout the bu...

Thank you Angus for your prompt reply. I will be ordering plans soon!
