I just finished the third prototype. It came in at 73 pounds fully rigged, using 5mm strips and 4 oz cloth. This version has a slightly narrower beam at 30 inches and I peaked the deck a bit more to shed water and make the hatch seal better. I have had proper drawings made, including full size pdf's of the stations and bow form and am working on a building manual for release later.

What a stunning craft! I have been an active racing oarsman for 50+ years and feel it’s time to think about leisure rowing. Your latest boat looks just the job. It’s a truly beautiful design built by a traditional craftsman. My guess is that such a fine craft won’t come cheap plus the cost of shipping to Ireland! Can you please provide a detailed specification option and an estimate of cost and delivery time. It sadly may be beyond my means but let’s see. It would be an honor to own a fine wooden skulling boat for both river and sea use.
