Hey Jay. I love the concept - a camper small car!   It would be perfect if your car had a sunroof so you could have both a "living room" and bedroom all accessible without going outside.&...

This is an off-topic post not relating to Angus boats specifically, but to stitch-and-glue construction. If this violates the forum rules, please feel free to delete! I'm designing a stitch-and-gl...

Also, I'd definitely recommend two layers of 6 oz glass off the top and bottom if using NZ pine.  NZ pine isn't very dense, so much of the strength will need to be provided by the glass. ...

Hey Ricky, Fiberglass tape won't work so well because the fibers are constrained at the edges meaning they won't shift as required to conform to more irregular shapes.  The best way to keep s...

I blew it with my rigger! It was the first thing I did in 2019 to get used to doing the fiberglass and glue-up. Since then it has been absorbing hot Texas sunlight and even though I had coated it w...

Overall, your choice of wood and lamination streategy depends on a few variabilities including weight constraints, beam of boat, budget and whether a clear beatiful look is desired.  If budget...

I have just finished mine.  I used rimu (a New Zealand hardwood) - but I recommend any hardwood over pine.  I also went with 23mm thickness (a little over 7/8 inches) rather than the spec...

Thanks in advance for the answers.  I've ordered the sliding seat kit, and am currently sourcing wood for the riggers.  I know it says pine is okay, but is this stiff enough?  I've g...

The sailing version of the RowCruiser is likely to ship more water at higher sailing speeds than the rowing version.  The forward deck hatch in the plans is prone to leak in these conditions.&...

The good news is that epoxy is pretty forgiving with regards to cure temperatures.  While cooler temperatures slow down the process, inevitably it will always cure - whether it be with enough ...

Hi All.  I live in Colorado, and the snow is starting to come down.  I've built a tarp shed to construct my Expedition, but it's mighty chilly inside.  I plan on heating it with some...

We were selling kits through Small Craft Advisor, but they've shifted gears, so we're in a bit of a transition period with RowCruiser kits.  A good alternative is to get the DXF plans and have...

@Colin Angus Good to know, thanks again.  I see that there is no kit for the Sailing RowCruiser on the website.  Will one be available at some point in the future?

Yeah, the regular RowCruiser and the sailing RowCruiser are exactly the same with regards to the basic central hull.  The one difference is you have the mast mount against the forward bulkhead...

@Colin Angus That's great news thanks Colin.  I just realized I didn't use the correct naming.  I'm actually asking about the Sailing RowCruiser.  Would there be any difference in pe...

It should tow well, though we haven't actually tested it yet.  The big skeg on the back will keep it pointing forward, and the boat should plane over the surface at higher speeds.  Ample ...

Hello Alan, For our plans version of the RowCruiser, the cabin is 6' 2".  It can, however, be stretched very easily by simply moving the forward bulkhead a few inches forward (a slight bit of...

Hi there,   RowCruiser looks like a really great boat.  I'm tall (6'5") and I'm wondering if I'd be able to sleep comfortably in the cabin.  What is the length of the cabin?  ...

Colin, thanks for the informative reply as always. And that pic! It's amazing what the boat can handle for its size.

I love the concept!! I have a Catalina 27, and  I struggle to move my current tender around.  This looks like it would be perfect.  Not sure if it would fit on the deck, so I'll prob...
