Row Long Island: May 2009
http://longislandrowing.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 3, 2009. View of the cockpit and wood macon oars. Setting up a Piantedosi Row Wing. These are great drop in units for recreational row shells. Another view of the new boat. Cartopping a 21 footer is not a problem, even with a compact car. Here is the new boat. A 21 Wintech with an 18" waterline beam. Quick, light, responsive and able to handle the whitecaps and boat wakes of the Great South Bay, Long Island. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). My Shearwater Kayak Building Blog.

This picture, I tried to show the backside of the kayak while resting in the Talic wall mounted cradle. I thought there was going to be a need for some padding on the wall behind the kayak however, the way that the kayak sits in the cradling straps it doesn't even touch the wall. Almost ready to go.

Shearwater 17' Hybrid Kayak Buildup: Footrests Somewhat Installed
http://drw-hobbies.blogspot.com/2008/05/footrests-somewhat-installed.html
Shearwater 17' Hybrid Kayak Buildup. Hand built kayak from start to finish. Stitch and glue construction of bottom. Cedar strip deck. Enter your search terms. Friday, May 2, 2008. Epoxied footrest backups to inside of hull with epoxy mixed with coilidal silica. Then attached footrests to the oak strips. What a pain in the neck to reach in and try to align the nylon lock nuts on underside of the strips to line up with the screw placed from above thru the footrest. Smart idea. Wow you are so close!
