Rowing isn’t like baseball or playing the piano. With only one lesson and a little time on your own, you can get the idea of it.

Mike Yates

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!
