In Response To: rowing outriggers (Chris Luneski)

: For that double paddle canoe I am building, I would like to be able to row
: it. First, I think oars would be faster than the paddle. Second, I think
: the boat would be much easier to maneuver and control with oars for
: photography, which is one of the main uses to which the boat will be put.
: Fishing should be easier, too.

: I've been searching the web for plans or descriptions of some sort of light,
: removable setup for moving the oarlocks out about nine inches on each
: side. My search hasn't produced much. Has anyone done something like this
: or know where I might look to get some information on this? I've seen a
: couple of clunky looking (and expensive) commercial units, but I would
: rather make my own.

: Thanks for your help.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but it can be found at Glen-L Marine designs under boat plans/rowing.

happy trails
