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 ...
Wow! Beautiful cinemetography! Your video not only captures the challenges of extended winter rowing, but the rugged beauty off Vancouver Island.
Hello Joseph - Worry not, it shouldn't be too difficult to resolve this issue. It is a very precise alignment, and is easy for things to shift slightly - especially with such long spars. ...
Such a great video you guys created! Thanks for posting - I'm sure many builders will find this useful.
Tom B of Michigan did an amazing job incorporating a Hobie Rig into the RowCruiser. A Tandem Island was used for the mainsail and a Mirage sail for the mizzen. As you can see, certain modifications...

Please find the materials list for the RowCruiser below. For the amas, one additional piece of 4mm sheet of plywood is required too. Building Materials 6 sheets of Okoume 4 mm p...
Hello Hank, The Oxford Wherry kit is comprised of three boxes. The largest is 99x11x3". The other two are 13x13x13" and 39x19x4"

Super cool! Yeah, having no windows willl simplifying things starting out, and then you can potetnially add them later without too much work. And that rhino grasshopper seems pretty imp...
