I'm sure it's on here somewhere but I've searched for a while and can't find it - what are the instructions for mounting the rigger on the Expedition rowboat?  The printed instructions refer t...

First row after painting.  Still have some hardware to add before it's complete

I'm not able to facilitate direct sales or provide information on specific items for sale, as my knowledge is based on information available up until September 2021, and I don't have access to real...

Hey Tony.  That's great to hear, and I'm glad it seems to be working out in the end.  And no need to apologize - it's kind of fun bringing alive the various build proecesses in my mind.&n...

Hello Colin, Short version update: it's a non-issue, the gap is <3mm Long version update: my arms were too short  and too few, to hold the deck in place while the camera was recording. So...

Hello Colin, I think you are grasping the problem. I agree that I have to give my stringer a slight upwards curve. I've a mitigation: I will make two faux-side-panels, and fix them in position wi...

Okay, I think I get what you're saying (very nice clear description by the way).  I just read through the manual to refamiliarize with the process (and, by the way, my earlier comment was slig...

Hello Colin. Thanks for the prompt reply. I still haven't got this straight in my head. I'll list out my thinking below and hopefully you'll be able to spot where I'm going wrong and steer me app...

Hello Tony, The cockpit stringers don't need to bend to conform to the shape created by the guide.  After they are bonded to the deck, there will still be plenty of flex allowing them to move...

Hello, The upper longitudinal stringers are now epoxied in place. The cockpit panels are not fixed in place. The strangers where examined using the Bevel Guide at Bulkhead 2 and Bulkhead 3 all ga...

I have basically the same question regarding the use of Hobie parts in order to have furling sails: What Hobie parts would be necessary to enable furling on the sailing rowcruiser? Would modifica...

@Colin Angus  Great, thank you for the quick reply! Michiel

Hello Michiel, That's scaled for the 2500x1220 mm sheets of plywood.  Have fun with the build, and let me know if you have any other questions.   Cheers, Colin  

Hello Colin,  Hopefully I can start building a Rowcruiser in a few weeks or so. When discussing the plans with a friend with a CNC he noticed that the plans were scaled, which is not a proble...

@Dave Warnock have you considered the PT 11 nesting dinghy? http://www.ptwatercraft.com/ptwatercraft/PT11Home.html Probably not as fast a rowboat as the Oxford Wherry or other sliding-seat boats, ...

Overall, that sounds like a versatile design concept.  The first thought that jumps to mind is the scope of the project.  Creating/designing a nesting sailing sliding-seat rowboat with fo...

That all makes sense.  The beauty of stitch and glue is it is a relatively well-trodden road, and it does make for a light and strong boat.  I think to make a foam cored boat lighter (and...

Soft sand can be a challenge.  Overall, if the sand is wet and firm, most wheels will be okay. In the fluffier stuff wider wheels will help.  What I've found is pulling the boat rather th...

Hello Tony, If you were to have two different "gears", I think the easiest way to do it would be to put two sets of buttons on the oar sleeve.  The oar you're looking at in the image above is...
