Hey Tom - As you know, for simplicity, our sliding seat system has a fixed foot assembly. The idea is that it is initially set up for the primary rower, and that for other rowers of different...
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...
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 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...
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...

Holy Moly - something's not right there. At a "broad reach" you're not even getting the performance of a square-rigged tall ship. Heck, even a log flying a beaver pelt could point bette...
Looks sharp!! Do you have any pics after the sailing conversion? What sailing rig did you end up going with?
Hi Brenda - That's a really tricky one, as there is a lot of crossover between the RowCruiser and the Expedition. It really comes down to what your exact needs are. Boat design is all a...

My two favourite online retailers for boat building materials are Raka and Duckworks. Almost all composite materials required can be found at Raka, and their prices are extremely reasonable.&...
Due to shipping constraints, it is expensive to order Okoume Plywood online. I will be querying customers across North America, and around the world to compile a list of locations where Okoum...
Almost everything (apart from Okoume Plywood) for boats being built from plans can easily be purchased online. Please feel free to post any of your favourite online retailers, along with mate...
Hey Ray - Yes, unfortunately, we're not currently selling them due to supply issues. The good news is you can get the correct ones at Latanzo Rowing Parts. They are the only retailer (t...
Zip ties and copper wire both work well for joining hull panels, and they each have their pros and cons. Zip ties are slightly faster to secure, and they can potentially be re-used. The...
