Sincere apologies for the intro of homeric length, I just wanted to give as much info as I could before asking my questions, Hello, I am going into my third year of graduate school pursuing a PhD in mechanical engineering, my research is in bio-inspired design for propulsion of UUVs and my work...

I am just in the process of finishing a Bolger Rubens Nymph, a stubby pram dinghy with a pronounced bottom rocker. The boat is about 2,4 x 3,4 m (7'9'' x 4'6'') On the plans there is one skeg, a triangular shape about 60 * 9 cm (2'1'' x 3 1/2''). I thought it might be easier to drag up the...

While I have not worked out every detail yet the project has begun: It started with realizing that I have built enough flat bottom boats to know that I don’t need another. Also, I’ve done enough jigless boats, and all are slightly crooked in a way that is noticeable to me. This one has a jig...

So am planning a SOF roing boat; design not finalized but along the lines of a Gentry Ruth, Wherry, Whitehall style about 15-18 feet long. I'd like it to be as stout and seaworthy as possible as I plan to use it on big lakes (Lake Superior near shore, Rainy Lake on the Canadian border, etc) as...

Hello. I found this site while looking for ideas on how to create a more stable rowing scull. I have a hairbrained idea but, before I invest a ton of time and money, it would be wonderful if someone with actual boat building knowledge would provide me with their thoughts! Basically, I rowed...

Hi all, Maybe somebody can advise me. I own a pioner 12, a small dinghy (material is polyethylene, weight 105kg, size 352 cm x 142 cm), which I want to use by rowing only - no motor. It came with plastic oarlocks and sockets, but they are no good, they bend and don't turn smoothly. I want to...

you sit in a fixed seat, and the rigger moves

Anthony straps his feet to the pedals on the sliding footbar

the fixed seat means the boat rides absolutely flat

the ROCAT is designed for open-water, or coastal rowing, and is absolutely stable on a rough sea

your feet strap on to pedals on the 'footbar' which slides up and down an extruded aluminium track

the tapered ends of the crossbeams drop into tapered sockets in the hulls
