Dan's 12 foot row boat

Post by davaodan »

I just launched this row boat on Samal Island near Davao City here in the Philippines. The year-round salt water temperature is about 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Nice water for capsizing drills. This boat is intended to get me on the water when it is calm and I cannot sail my PDRacer.

You can see my build in the boatplans.dk forum.

This boat rows really well, will turn on a centavo but tracks very well and is fast and easy to row. I think she weighs less than 90 pounds. I think I will make the oars about 7 feet long. On these the PDRacer oars, the handles jam just a bit so I have to look out for my thumbs. This is my third build, the first a simple kayak, and the second a PDRacer.
