Building a wooden rowing scull
“After an enquiry from an old friend, I found an article I wrote to submit to the Wooden Boat Magazine back around 2007 after I had built my wooden rowing scull. I had been inspired to build the boat from reading lots of their stories and thought I would tell my tale – unfortunately, they did not publish it, but I am pleased I wrote it as it has brought back great memories! I have attached the article with the figures.
The scull is still in original condition after 16 years and I take it out periodically for a row at the top end of Lake Macquarie into Cockle Creek.” Hugh Dunstan
