Coastal Rowing Boats Completed

The 2 Coastal Rowing Boats are complete and they left for Switzerland on a single trailer earlier this week. The hull and decks of the 4 were all painted in the same week and the rigging (seats, stretchers and their tracks) turned up in the nick of time. A couple of weekends were ignored entirely and several very late nights meant that the boats were ready for the trailer just in time. They were built largely from kits supplied by a group of guys in Guernsey who are really into coastal rowing.

The central trough clears water to a sump for the self bailer

Unusual wave breaking deck shape

The single prior to fitting out

Interesting built in riggers feature on both boats

A very tight squeeze between the bars on the trailer

 The finish on the hulls came out really nicely and made all the preparation worth it. The unusual design of these boats will mean they can be used even in the most choppy conditions on Lake Geneva.

About 11m from tow hitch to transom!
