Hi PapaDave,
We are still waiting for Your report of the splash. Please keep us informed how the first rowing was and if possible with a few pictures. Once more congratulations to this beautiful boat.
Greetings from Karl

Been gone for some time. The MI 12 was splashed but my oars were certainly too long at 9 feet 3 inches. I need to build a set at 7.5 feet oars and go out again. The boat came in at 110 pounds including oarlocks. I ended up mainly using 12 oz. biax tape and cloth so I believe that this is the reason for the higher weight than designated in the plans. She moves along easily in the water and is very stable.
On another note, I just returned from Colorado and Utah rivers in the solo dory and had a great time beating up the little boat a bit.

Nice!
If there were 72 hours in a day, I'd fill it! All these completed beautiful boats, and I've got this deck to fix, and this lawn to mow...
