@Dave Warnock i think the same way you do, about the desire to explore islands and inlets w/o the constraints of a big boat (draft/etc). It was actually these constraining experiences on big boats ...

It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into how it would all be done.  That all makes sense, and in theory I think you could make a decent boat going this route.  You're so correct wi...

Note the wire ties along the bottom edge of the bulkhead.  It's an Expedition, bit a Row Cruser, but the idea is the same. T

That's a lovely bucolic setting where you're building your boat.  The way to cinch the bulkheads to the hull is to drill a few holes through the bulkhead, and then two corresponding holes (abo...

>Would foam have enough strength  and stiffness not to bend, sag, and be able to hold its shape until the fiberglass is applied?I think it would not hold its shape.  Based on some limi...

Just finished stitching together my rowcruiser and placed bulkheads 1 and 2 roughly in the correct positions.  each has a significant gap on the bottom.  If there anything i can do to rem...

That's a great question, and one that I receive a lot.  As far as I know, no one has yet built a RowCruiser using foam coring.  I'd love to hear from anyone who has built a boat of any st...

@Ralf Dose while this post doesn't tell you how to install it per se, there are some really good images to give you ideas:https://angusrowboats.com/community/xenforum/topic/84183/alternative-rigs-f...

Just curious, has anyone ever built a RowCruiser using foam core sandwich method?  This would be a core of dense PVC foam (like Divinycell or similar) sheathed on both sides with woven roving ...

 I'm not sure specifically which sails, but will look into that. @Colin Angus with regard to Eric in Canada's CLC sail rig, the mainsail looks similar to that of a SCAMP (or custom).  ...

@Colin Angus thanks for the encouragement!! A few more recent inputs to my thinking. The video from Sampson Boat Company "70 miles in TALLY HO's dinghy." where a good 11 foot nesting dinghy (PT...

Just chiming in to say that this idea is really appealing and I'll be following as well!

It's great to hear about your exciting plans for the Oxford Wherry! I would love to design similar concepts in-house and incorporate them into our offerings, as they would make excellent add-ons. H...

Hello Steven, When looking for a CNC service here I asked these questions; [1] - Do you do one-off jobs? [2] - Do you have a 8-foot by 4-foot bed? [3] - Is your machine compatible with DXF file...

@Colin Angus  Hello , I would be interested in knowing how to evaluate the potential of finding a CNC shop that can handle this kind of work. What are the specs, requirements I'd be asking the...

Hello all I'm posting to see if I can find a potential RowCruiser building partner here in Manitoba.  If anyone from Winnipeg is contemplating such a build we should grab a coffee and chat, ...

We are (slowly) preparing for a retirement sailing around the world.  I looked at an Oxford Wherry over 2 years ago but wasn't able to go further, now with Fyne Boat Kits able to provide a CNC...

Hello Asier,That sounds like a beautiful region you will be exploring in Turkey.  It's hard to say how far you will be able to go each day - it all depends on your fitness level, level of expe...

Hello Austin - The ideal spot to place the seat for fixed seat rowing is over the middle bulkhead.  You are correct that having it a little aft of center is good, but what we've found is that ...
