Reading your search for the right buttons for wooden oars reminded me how, after dealing with similar practical problems during the day, I usually look for something to unwind. Recently I tried bet...

@Colin Angus I have not yet decided if I should buy from the UK company or from this swedish company as mentioned. It all depend on how many sheets I need. I have not ordered any plans on your webs...

Kjell - are you building from plans or DXF files.  DXF is slighly more effiicient.  I'll look into the number of sheets required.  Do you have plans/manual?  If so, it should be...

Wear shoes, simple ones. In competition boats these will be bolted in the boat, here it's better to wear a shoe that will slide in, like in the concept2 trainer. 

@Kjell iver Johansen  i face the same problem (being in Uppsala). I was considering fir (furu) plywood. Saves some tropical trees, comes from our own country, and is cheap. since th...

Big excitement !!

I purchased two masts for the O'pen  skiff per the directions and finally got the nerve to modify one of them to be the mizzen mast. I was very careful where I made the cut, but I found that s...

Hi, Paul - I'm interested in your boat. Please let me know if it still available or not.  Thank you,  Kent

Greetings-  I am intrigued with your boat. Do you happen to have more photos. Since I have more experience with plywood boats, can you explain to me how you have made connections and reinforci...

@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...
