About 7 or 8 years ago a co-worker had a mold and built two or three of this
style boat...18 foot version.
I almost ordered one, and at $2k Cdn it would have been a steal.
Peter was trying to modify the rowing version to sail and took me out to
show it off.
We started off in the very narrow Herring Cove where he lived and had to
tack about a dozen times to get out to the main harbour. At the time he had
the boom too low and I had to flatten myself on the seat in order for it to
pass over me.
By the time we got out to Chebucto Head and open ocean the swells were about
5 or 6 feet. The boat and Peter were fine but I was over the side feeding
the fishes. We got caught in a brief shower, so I just layed on the seat
sipping gingerale.
Peter made sure everyone at work knew about my condition...grrrrrr.
Peter was quite excited about that style of boat and loved the 'wine glass'
transom. Reminded him of the row boats carried on the 19th century British
sailing warships.

These boats are just gorgeous, and the 14-footer is a perfect rower.
I've had the pleasure of borrowing one for a day on Rockhold Creek and
it was a dream to row.
