Using just materials from his local home improvement store, Robert B. Holt built this flat-bottomed, double-ended rowing boat to his own design. He used 5/16" tongue and groove western cedar paneling for the planking, and 1x3 strips for the frames and floors.

GNALGAN has been my project over the winter months in Victoria, Australia. The name is an Australian Aboriginal word for the “Nankeen Night Heron.”She is made of 4mm marine ply which has been coated inside and out with fibreglass.

Jeff Rollins of J. M. Rollins Rowboats in Hudson Falls, NY recently designed and built this Lazy Sunday Rower, 10′4″ long and 4′ wide.

Designed by Jesse Lowell (207-504-3311), sixth generation boat builder and designer (great grandson of William Frost). Mischief was built by Jesse Lowell and owner, Captain Joanna Lavan.
