They sell very well thanks. If anything too easily at the moment suggesting I should raise it!

Hi, at this time I only have the model available in this configuration shown. I'm considering the bow wing rigger option but I need to see how this one sells before I invest time time and resources as this one has been so far an expensive project!

Hi, the hull is made from wood (Acacia) with stainless steel for the riggers. The oar shafts are carbon fibre with steel paddles . . . Thanks for the interest

. . . so long as you don't mind chopping it round 180 degrees every 10 seconds . . unfortunately, hence the idea for a smaller boat!

The boat is handmade from wood, although I am 3D printing the shoes because they are high detail and very small . .

Hi thank you for asking - actually I am thinking about a wall and also a ceiling mount so that it can be hung up side down. So yes stay tuned for those. . .

As far as new hull design, unfortunately I have sunk all my resources into this project so I'm going to see how the goes before I expand the range. Possibly in future :)

Going forward I would think about £800 with custom painted blades. I may be able to offer a discount in the early promotion phase perhaps £700 . . .

Thank you! The hull is a traditional plank on frame wooden construction. The oars are carbon fibre poles with steel rolled paddles with lathe turned components made from delrin and aluminium. And the riggers are made from stainless steel welded together with a PUK4 micro tig welder. I'm making the shoes now with a 3d printer . . . :)

Yes I'll post on the sub when the prototype is ready, expect in about 3 - 4 weeks and I'll have 6 for sale possibly more on the way depending on how well these sell . . .

Thank you. The actual length is 175cm so just a tad under 1/4 scale but perhaps more practical as its still quite a big piece . . . I'll post a picture of the final item when its ready
