Clint, I like the look of your faering, could you tell us the dimensions and weight and the thickness of the plywood you used?
thanks
Kelvin

Drake is 17' 3" LOA x 4' beam. I use Shaw and Tenney outrigger oarlocks to give me the spread I need for 9' oars. On the W.L. she is 15 1/2' x 34". She is designed to row briskly over long distances and in open water. We'll see! I would estimate she will weight 125#
I used 8mil Okoume on GBD and 6mil on upper strakes. Backbone is DF and lots of Maine Spruce inside for lightness. Gunwales are Eastern White Pine. Thwarts and riser will also be EWP.
Cheers.

I didn't mean to thread-jack my own post....
I am still in the process of finding a suitable group to build the Goat with me in the program for at-risk youth I manage, Compass Project.
I hope to get a group or a few kids involved -- at least some proven youth we've worked with that I know would enjoy the project -- and the rig would be useful for use in our Alpha-Beachcomber dory, which is rowing only at the time. I wish to fit it out with a lug-yawl rig.
Wil keep all posted as I sign up groups for the fall semester.
Cheers,
Clint
