Hi Joachim - hey, yes I'd like to be notified when you sell Kairos4Two! I'm the one who just didn't have enough cash to swing the deal when you were leaving Seattle with Kairos the first! By the ti...
@Colin Angus thanks for the kind comments, I definitely tried hard to do the design proud, it's a pretty boat and I can't wait to get it on the water. As for the colour scheme, well it had to be Ox...
Hello Steph. Thanks for sharing your experiences with building the Oxford Wherry. She's a beaut!! I love your color scheme too. And the Douglas fir gunwales look great. ...

Thanks this is exactly what I needed. I started my build 15 days ago and am just about done - planning to get it on the water tomorrow! It's all come together really well.
@Eric Miller Hi Eric, Thank you for this input. Unfortunately the Hobie parts are very expensive in Germany, so I decided to use two simple lugger sails. I hope to finish the Rowcruiser next mont...
