Yes, the extension cable is a good addition for just that reason - also makes swapping batteries (if you get to that stage) a breeze. But from what you say, a second hand trolling motor an...
The Newport NK180 is certainly a lovely bit of kit, with the advantage of remote throttle & steering, but once you've bought batteries, you're not far off the much more powerful ePropulsion opt...
@Chris Ricketts Might be worth posting a couple of pics here for folk to see!
I will be interested to see what you eventually decide. Personally, I intend to build out a small bracket either on the rigger or aft deck to take an ePropulsion Spirit which I have and use on vari...
Sounds good! I would certainly be supportive of the two man rowcruiser - shouldn't add much weight, but hugely increases the usefulness of the boat for two-man adventure racing or row/sail camping ...
Glad all ok - how quickly a situation can change out on the water! Would be interested to see pics or hear how you've configured your 12v bilge pump - have been contemplating adding one (or more) t...
@Loren Kelley do add some photos here - even for those of us across the pond and not looking to buy, it is always nice to see how other owners have "tweaked" their own boats. Always somethin...
Beautiful! Loving the paint detail at the bow and the way you bring it to a sharp point - might have to pinch that idea!
@David Martin See my earlier post about the Topper rig I inherited on the SRC I bought. I would have thought that Topper sails & parts are pretty common in NZ, as they are in so many parts of t...
Are you referring to the amas/akas in the Sailing Rowcruiser version? The detailed plans for these can, I believe, be bought separately in the "conversion kit" plans, available at: https://angusro...
Great to see it in the flesh - and would love to see some internal pics, or even a video! The 4mm ply on the curved panels & keeping the 6mm to the minimum was, for me, the right decision- as w...
While I haven't yet tried them with the rowcruiser, I have of C-Tug SandTrakz kayak trolley which I use for both my kayaks and a heavier Spearfish 550 SIP with outboard etc. mounted. The rowcruiser...
Very much enjoying the forum, and lots of great knowledge being built within its pages. Regarding New Product Requests - my request is that rather than any specific new products, I am wondering whe...
@Michiel Kommer Liking the solution - I wonder wher this variant would be worth including with the Angus SRC plans! While I bought plans with the intention of self-building, a pre-built came up fo...
A quick pic of the "Golden Pearl" helmed by her previous owner & builder. She was painted in Yamaha Racing colours, and certainly turns heads as a result! You can see the Topper sails which are...
Being the "far side of the pond" in old Blighty, it is not necessarily cost effective, quick or practical to use some of the excellent suppliers in the US for components for a build, and one area t...
While I am only a couple of months into owning my Angus SRC, I already have one eye on getting out a bit further afield next year (and beyond), so would be interested to hear the thoughts of other ...
@Jay Bonthius Sounds good, Jay! The cornering would not be such a concern for me - a low CoG to start with and your added weigh relative to that isn't so great in the grand scheme of things. B...
@Colin Angus Will do at some point next year. I have had less chance to really put "Golden Pearl" through her paces since I acquired her earlier in the year, with much of that just getting use...
Nice to see it coming together - I think you've picked the perfect boat for your incredible arctic adventure! Not sure if you've posted links elsewhere on the forum about it, or your kickstarter ca...
