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...

Such a great video you guys created!  Thanks for posting - I'm sure many builders will find this useful.

Step-by-step video following one of the rowcruisers built for our Northwest Passage expedition this summer.

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...
