Oh and jpb, the boat is all wood. The bottom and sides are marine grade plywood. The ribs are western red cedar. The chines are oak as are the top rails. The bow rib is mahogany. This is going by memory as I built it 25 yrs ago
Sweet!
I'm a woodworker myself, so I really appreciate the details and additional pictures!
Most folks have only rowed boats intended for motors (with that big fat drag-inducing stern), so they can't appreciate how easily a boat properly designed for rowing can move and maneuver!
It must be a great feeling rowing a boat that you built yourself 25 years ago -- talk about satisfying!
