Cormorant Not my favorite fowl, but here's the rig including an outrigger to calm my nerves when an oar dives in the boat wakes. Will try it out...
Glad to hear it went well. Your tailbone will appreciate that cutout in the seat. I got a seat from concept 2 and spaced it up from the bottom...
Annelid Yes worms with their segmented bodies is what I was getting at. I ripped one sheet in half and it easily bends to a 19" circle or various...
I have a stack of 13"x60"x 3mm Baltic Birch 3ply cutoffs. The grain runs long dimension in the center ply and short on the outside. I'd like to...
Outrigger canoes As Terry knows I'm trying to figure out a project for a stack of 13" x 60" 3mm 3 ply Baltic Birch. The grain runs in the...
SnowRow I was just up at the LCMM and got this pic of the gigs
I can't get my old arms to move fast enough for oars less than 9'. If I'm trying to stay over 5 I throw my gut into the stroke big time. Great...
I haven't been paying attention to this thread for a while but have found it very valuable in finetuning my boat. Most who've stuck with it here...
The mirror, a la 56 chevy, works better than anything else Ive tried, but does not give a wide field. A channel marker may suddenly be right next...
Good to hear it's coming along. You definitely want a stretcher for the balls of your feet. Attached is a pic of my boat in Maine at 5-6 mph.
Glad to hear the boat feels good. You'll probably find ways to dial it in even more. I'm more convinced than ever that matching oar length and...
Conditions were pretty calm, maybe 5mph ssw wind. In other years with stronger winds there would be some interesting reflected waves off the...
Lake Champlain Race Beautiful day for the race but not a big turnout. Triangular course was something over 3 miles. There were 4 six oared and 3...
Seeing your daughter is more important anyday. Will let you know how the race went.
We could put you up the night of the 9th if that would help.
Yeah it would be a long ride, pulling a trailer over the mountains and all.
Lake Champlain Challenge Impressive name for a 3 mile race, but it's a lot of fun and we need more rowboats. July 10, 10am registration at Basin...
I made a cut and tape model from your drawing and really like it. It occurred to me that in a perfect world the perfectly cut pieces could be...
Very nice! I like the look. I thought butt joints with maybe 2-3" strips of the same 3mm bedded in thickened epoxy as bent ribs covering the...
Has anyone modelled segmented (maybe vertical multi chine would be a better way to say it) for these types of displacement boats? Intuitively it...
