The first step for you must be to get onto the water and do lots of rowing. That experience will show you if it is even feasible for you to consider undertaking such a voyage. Row a few boats of different types and you will learn what type of boat rows easily and what makes a bad rowing boat.<br /><br />If it is a coastal voyage then you can do it in any good rowing boat. A slim boat will give you best speed for the amount of effort that you put into rowing. For a coastal voyage it does not need to carry large loads because you can buy supplies along the way.<br /><br />If it will be an ocean crossing then you need a very specialised boat and you also need many months or even years of preparing your body to make such a voyage. It also needs a boat that can carry loads because you will have to carry all your food and water.Dudley Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463988486568081821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-39767339142520813452013-01-30T05:56:18.277-05:002013-01-30T05:56:18.277-05:00Nice post.

It is a slow process because I have to prepare the files for the methods used by CLC. That has to fit into other work, hence the delay. I don't know yet what the cost will be but will add it to the USA kits page as soon as I have that info.Dudley Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463988486568081821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-17993067522702119172012-11-16T10:35:04.901-05:002012-11-16T10:35:04.901-05:00So hard not to get a Mini MK3 but budget with my c...So hard not to get a Mini MK3 but budget with my current budget preclude this, any idea what the DS15 kit will cost?

He intentionally selected finishing methods that are very pretty but demand painstaking work to get it right. If painted it would be very much quicker to build.<br /><br />I don't have the time available to help Hunter with the build. Our different styles of working would soon have us mortal enemies anyway.<br /><br />Are you far from Virginia Beach? If not, I can take you to see her.Dudley Dixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10463988486568081821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574088453848301473.post-64144844577819161342012-10-18T15:35:13.092-04:002012-10-18T15:35:13.092-04:00Any further updates on the DS15?
