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...

I like the overall concept, but what you're describing as the main hull is quite similar to the Cambridge Racer, which is a failry high volume 24' rowing shell. I do like the idea of a rowing...
Hi All, I am looking any tips on how to move their rowcruiser across soft sand, and up an incline. Does anyone have a particular beach dolly that works ? Particularly looking for advice so one per...
Tom Clarke (http://theoarcruising.blogspot.com/search/label/Gearing) suggests.... "Add a small jam cleat (Duckworks Jam Cleat 'SD-002040') and 3 feet of 1/8 non-stretch line as shown the photo bel...
Beautiful boat, nice build and congrats on finishing R2AK !!
This isn't a product question or request—I'm just curious if this idea seems reasonable. I'm imagining a smaller version of the Sailing Rowcruiser, but with a narrow beam (and no cabin). I'm...
Is this still available? Richard
Hi Steve, I'm in Alberta (Airdrie), and just recently bought plans; I hope to start this fall. Gene
I'm glad it all worked out. There's nothing like the magic of sanding and planing to bring things to shape in the boating world. I like your oars. Have you had a chance to try it ...
Thanks Colin! I ended up doing some disassembly and trimming plus some planing and sanding. Finally got the seat to glide back and forth without resistance. glueing up the support...
Great question. In short, I wouldn't recommend it. The main problem with Andersen Self bailers is they leak when not in use. This means that on nice pleasant days when the sea is ...
Hello, ist it a good idea to install an Andersen Type Bailer on an Angus Expedition Rowboat.
I just measured it, and it is just a smidge under 11 3/4" between the rails. The end caps protrude slightly further out, so you'll be able trim a tiny bit off by sanding off some extraneous p...
Hopefully the thicker wire makes a difference. Remember, for cinching to pull out as hard as you can with the pliers and then twist. You'll get more than twice the cinching power of twi...
I will give it a try. I've ordered thicker wire as the 18 gauge started to snap. as of toher things could you please check for possible mismatch between cnc dxf file and the manual in current ...
Hello Piotr. It's been quite a few years since I last built the Oxford Wherry, so I don't recall how much of a gap is formed between the panels in the stern. The reason for the gap is the com...
Hi, as I'm based in Poland I've decided to build oxford wherry with digital plans. Hull panels have been cut at CNC mill according to the attached DXF file and bulkheads with jigsaw based on t...
Hello Keith. I think you should be okay at 11 9/16", but I can't say for sure right now. I'm just at my off grid cabin, so don't have the opportunity to check at the moment, but I will ...
How hard is the 11 3/4" gap between floatation chambers for the rowcruiser? I'm currently at 11 9/16. Expecting the rowing seat and rigger kit to come next week. Thanks, Keith
At some point in the future my double-seater Kairos4Two will become available for new adventures. In 2022 we took her all the way to Ketchikan, as a successful participation in the R2AK. Please see...
