Overview

The boat above is made from BS 1088 Meranti plywood with a Bristol polyurathane exterior and oiled interior.

Sometimes you want to get out on a small lake for an afternoon and a classic rowboat is the way to do it in style. Using the same free-form boat building techniques as our white water boats we designed a little rower for the lake.

The final product has been a rousing success! The boat is light (about 175 lb.), can fit in the back of a pickup and can handle a small trolling motor. Best of all, it rows like a dream. Its main seat can be made adjustable for more than one oarlock position and its interior parts could, in a pinch, be made removable to make it lighter, easier to mount on top of a vehicle. We've found that 7 1/2' Oars work the best for the 14'.
