I built this cedar strip version of a CLC Annapolis Wherry over an 18 month period & about 1500 hours. Rather than buying the recommended “drop-in” rowing rigs I constructed my own assemblies in both the single & double configurations. The boat is a sweet & composed row!
Fifteen years ago, David McNaught of Greensboro, North Carolina, ordered plans for this 12′ sailing dinghy from http://www.bateau.com. He started building the stitch-and-glue boat and worked on it for two months before he had to put it away.
John Seymour modified M.B. Alford's design for the Tursiops Kayak by shortening the length a foot and lengthening to cockpit entry to make it easier to get in and out of the boat. He launched HOBO in Lake of Bays in Ontario, Canada.
EL GATO is a 12'6" Phil Bolger designed catboat built by Ross Mason between May 2002 and October 2003. Ross launched EL GATO on November 25, 2003. He used 1/4" plywood covered with epoxy resin and fiberglass cloth. He built the hollow 16' mast from 8 staves as described in WB issue XXXX.
Classic 17′ Whitehall pulling boat. Her lines are based on boat nearly 150 years old. Glued lapstrake, planking made of Vendia Marine Plank. She has two Alden Drop in Row Wings and three places for those. So she can be rowed as a double or a single.
My grandparents lived on a river in southern Alabama when I was growing up and my father taught me to row when I was maybe 6 or 7 years old. I did my first solo row in front of my grandparents' wharf at that young age.
