That's great, thanks Colin. Will look into it.

Hi Eric - We've used the Trailex SUT350-S with good results. The sizing is perfect for the RowCruiser - it's designed for long skinny boats. There are a few elements of the design that aren't...
Looking for recommendations on a highway worthy trailer for my rowcruiser. I seem to remember seeing one posted at some point a few years ago but can't find it now. Any help is apprecia...
It can be done with satisfactory results, but overall, it's usually not worth it. Okoume has several distinct advantages - it is lightweight, strong, and has a beatiful dark colour when finis...
It is possible if you modify the forward bulkhead to create a large opening. Not really recommendable, though, as it's tight, and I don't think you can even close the hatch unless you lie flat on y...
I thought I saw on the website that someone has slept in the forward compartment of their Expedition Rowboat on a cruise camping trip. Is this really possible (for a 5'7" individual in this ...
Has anybody used baltic birch or poplar plywood for building their boats instead of okoume?
I'll check around here for gasket materials. I never considered using the roof! I've tied canoe and kayak up there, I just figured the expedition would be too heavy. But it's worth a try.&nbs...
For you Mid-Atlantic Builders and where I purchased my plywood to build my Cambridge Rowing Shell. CLC - Chesapeake Light Craft 410.267.0137 Mon-Fri: 9-5 EST1805 George AvenueAnnapolis, MD...
I love it! Interesting to see use of the Scout and Portage pram sails. They go nicely with the boat. I see the forward sail has reefing capabilities, which is useful. I'm in...
Last year I built a sliding seat & rigger unit for my rowing canoe. This year I've come across a modification question. Does anyone have any experience in adapting the sliding seat ...
Pretty strong, but not overpowering, weather helm when pressed hard, no fault of the design I'm sure, likely from venturing away from the rec'd sails. I also moved the forward bulkhead forward a bi...
Finished my boat and been enjoying learning how to handle it, no big adventures yet, hope to remedy that soon. I completed the main hull and was able to row it late September last year, finished th...
@Colin Angus That bad huh ! That picture was my first sail, after about 5mins in the water, so I'm not surprised it's not set right. I intend to get out this weekend. I'll be mindful o...
Thanks for all the posts. And Theo, thanks for posting the Noah's rates. I was going to look into that. The beauty of Noah's is you can get it shipped to your door, which means ev...
Noah's in Canada has the most reasonable prices that I've seen as of late. For 4 ml European BS1088 it's $69 a sheet with volume discounts that go down significantly from there. T...
My RowCruiser points between 50 and 45 degrees into the wind, but you do need to pay attention to both your sailing and the set of your rig. Be sure to sufficiently tension your outhaul, down...
Congrats on almost having your Expedition completed. Yes, extreme heat can be hard on neoprene, leaving it permanently compressed. I would imagine silicone (which is very heat resistant...
Hey thanks Colin for renewing the forum. It will be helpful to all of us. I have basically finished my Expedition here in N. Texas, but It has been parked in the hot sun this summer, and on one of...
