1500 hours from first sketches to varnish. The boat is a cedar-strip, recreational/open-water scull, loosely based on Graeme King’s immortal Kingfisher. It’s built with 1/8-inch Western red cedar & Alaska yellow cedar pin-striping. The hull is covered with 2-oz fiberglass, inside & out. All strips are block-planed with a rolling bevel to mold into the hull shape. The soft-chined, V-hull is monocoque constructed with a hard deck. The material was provided by Joe Greenley, Redfish Kayaks. Custom riggers, sliding seat, foot-stretchers & adjustable-pitch pins are by Carl Douglas (UK). Oarlocks & carbon sculls are by C-2. Shoes are H2Row. It rows like a dream.
