Rowboat
Construction
The rowboats hulls are made of vinyl ester resin (stronger and lighter
than polyester) reinforced with glass fibre and finished on
the inside with polyurethane paint.
The seats or the rowboat form fibreglass
air tanks for strength, buoyancy and stiffness. There is plentiful
use of varnished cedar for gun-whales, front and rear back rests and
gussets. There is also an adjustable cedar foot-stretcher to brace
your feet against when rowing.
The dory row boat is provided with a sturdy snag free rudder
which does not interfere with beaching. The rudder is operated
by lanyards from the passenger seat. The overall impression
is of elegance, swiftness, and comfort. The rowboat is sufficiently
light that two people can easily carry it or lift it onto the roof
of a car for transport.
