@john mahoney HI John The boat is still available. Sorry about the slow response. I'm not very tech savvy either... Craig

@Craig Miller I'm not too tech savvy. I found says a month old is the boat still available? Thanks john

@Paul Hook Thanks! I also like the idea of the single loops with nylon webbing for supporting the heels. It sounds like I will need to do a little experimentation to see what works best.

Hello - I'm currently planning building a Rowcruiser and I'm still uncertain if I should build from precut CNC from a company in England, or buy Okume plywood (they call it Okouplex - Okoumeplywood...

@Paul Airey Definitely.  There is a technique to it, especially on the return slide.  I imagine it could go sideways (figuratively) if you were really trying to move hard and quick, but I...

@Paul Hook Just a thought that might or might not be applicable to on the water rowing but as a long term C2 model B rower I row without straps. It takes some getting used to but prevents the tempt...

That is very nice.  Well done. I am in Livingston, MT, and dream of building the same boat and using it in Grand Teton and Yellowstone NP, Flathead lake, etc. I know that Jackson Lake is more...

This is for a different boat with a different primary use, but I experimented with several options when I built a DIY sliding seat rowing frame for a skin on frame wherry (Dave Gentry's "Ruth"). I ...

A couple of pictures of me rowing on Jackson Lake, Wyoming. As you can see, I have now added a rudder to help compensate for wind. No breeze today, so I left the rudder up and the daggerboard stowe...

@Adam Riley Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely look into the Durham heel cups and wakeboard straps.

I also had this issue on my most recent trip. It got so bad after a week or so that rowing became almost excruciating. I purchased some fixed "heel cups" that can be found online at durham rowing a...

The Boat is sold.

Hi all, I recently finished building and installing the sliding seat rowing system to convert a sailing canoe into a sliding seat rower. From my brief experience with sliding seat rowing/sculling,...

You could look at small boat or kayak trailers and adjust them to fit your rowcruiser. Many people start with a basic trailer and add bunks, supports, a winch for boat, or rollers so the boat rides...

Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are taken seriously in my home territory (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming), and mandatory inspections are routine.  Yellowstone National Park and the Flathead River Wate...

Sounds like you're making some great progress.  Overall, you should be okay for having enough gap between the bottom of the boat and the lowest point on the seat.  This is actually called...

I have glued the frame, cut and tuned the slot, and now am shaping the frame bottom to fit the hull.  I'm getting a little nervous about how much I'm taking off on the tips and tails, while st...

This may be a silly question, but has anyone found 20 yds of fiberglass insufficient for the Rowcruiser? I'm just getting to the exterior glassing, which I understand will take 42 ft of glass. The ...

Hi, I have to sell my Rowcruiser in the north of Germany. For first Informations and pictures see: https://www.kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/ruder-segelboot-fuer-die-kueste-mit-schlupfkabine/316130...

@Evan S Minthorn hey Evan Thanks for your interest. I'm afraid the boat won't be back in Oregon anytime soon. It's a nice time of the year for a road trip...
