Seven coats of Bristol Finish provide a hard, high-gloss, low maintenance finish with maximum U.V. protection.

The thwart is run length-wise to maximize seating flexibility.

If you row for exercise and your back starts to bother you, just lie back and give it a break.

Try that in a normal dinghy.

If you’ve never rowed a boat with the thwart run length-wise, try it.

I think you’ll be hooked.

If you think you can handle all of the attention you'll get in a boat this distinctive, you can own her for $4500.

This is a brand-new ten footer, designed by Stephen Redmond and built by Island Hermit LLC.

She was built as an ultra-light row-boat with 4mm. okoume marine (B.S.1088) plywood strakes.

The bottom is 6mm. keruing (also B.S.1088 of course,) covered in glass and painted “Midnight Blue.” Keruing is a little heavier than okoume but it is a really hard, durable wood, making it ideal for the bottom.

This pretty boat just glides with each stroke of the oar.

She has cedar thwart, gunwales, inwales and sternsheets,

curly maple outer-stem, knees, and oarlock blocks.

The keel and skeg are made of oak and the oarlocks are bronze.
