This is not a duplicate comment. Maybe, someone previously said something similar. Interesting . . . . . . my set of plans doesn’t show the oarlock pad. Although, there’s enough information in the video to make it easier enough to fabricate four oarlock pads.

Hey kit leave it or not the blueprint I got with the kit does not show on section 6 or station six the autolock pad. In the section above the crosscut of the entire boat it shows the pad but on station six it shows it directly against the inner rail with notepad, interesting. I am going to use your video and the diagram you showed for the block to cut and make the block for the autolock’s, thanks for having such a detailed video as you can see it really helps.

Thank you very much Kit, I quite enjoy all your explanations and demonstrations on all the videos so far. You have a very down to earth way of getting your point across. I look forward to the remaining videos.

Does the boat float when swamped? Can positive floatation be added?
When tipped upside down on a cabin top, what is the clearance up to a boom?
