Boat Profile. Written by Joseph D. Titlow From Issue March I ordered the plans, and the package I received included full-sized patterns for the molds, transom, stem, breasthook, and knees for the transom and thwarts. A table of offsets is provided, but the full-sized patterns make the offsets and lofting unnecessary.

For transferring the drawings to the wooden stock, I ordered carbon transfer paper from Glen L. The creases in the patterns made it difficult for me to obtain precise sectional shapes.

The carbon paper came with a whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone tip: Coat the inside of the station forms with white paint whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone transferring the section drawings.

This way the builder always knows what controls the whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone curves of the Whitehall design.

The Whitehall is composed of planking strips bent cold whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone molds. The instructions suggest the hull can be stripped with hardwoods Honduras or Philippine mahogany or softwoods western red cedar or Sitka spruce. Whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone plans estimate a mahogany Whitehall will weigh about lbs.

A light skiff has many advantages. It can accelerate more quickly, go faster, and be more responsive�all of that adds to the fun. At launch sites it is easy getting the Whitehall on and off the trailer, and two can easily carry it. The instructions note that the builder can choose to use traditional glues, such as resorcinol or marine epoxy. This is just an indication of the bygone era when the instructions were written.

The strip construction for the Whitehall differs from the method widely used for canoes and kayaks. The Glen-L instructions briefly discuss the option of milling bead-and-cove planking strips. Based on my experience, this is an essential step.

Unlike flat-edged strips, the mated beads and coves almost snap into place, aligning themselves and whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone the gaps. While you can buy bead-and-cove strips ready-made, whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone cost of the size of strips required for the Whitehall was prohibitive.

The Whitehall was designed for fixed-thwart rowing, but its long waterline and easily driven hull whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone a sliding seat a fitting addition. The instructions mention the option of covering the completed planked hull with fiberglass cloth; I found additional advice in The Gougeon Brothers on Boat Construction.

I applied 4-oz cloth with five coats of epoxy inside and out, resulting in a composite structure with a bending strength that is many times that of the cedar alone and abrasion resistance for trailering and landing on gravel beaches.

The Glen-L plans recommend painting the hull, and while marine enamels will do the job, the beauty of the wood is lost. I finished my Whitehall bright, protecting the epoxy with a high-grade marine varnish.

During construction I did some things differently than called for in the plans, but I do not see these changes as fixes for shortcomings in design. I believe the aim was to keep things simple to encourage amateur boatbuilders to take on the project.

Here are the refinements I made, none of them essential, and all mean more work. Even when lightly loaded, the Whitehall gives up very little waterline length. It looks great, particularly in the bow and stern areas.

While the author worked all of the strips cold, steaming the ends, or wrapping them with rags and pouring boiling water over them, would help the ends come home with less strain. To support the tracks, I installed two parallel beams, secured under the three rowing-station thwarts and notched to sit flush with their tops. The beams also support the tracks for the racing-shell stretchers.

This enhancement with the foot stretchers is essential for getting the maximum performance with the sliding seat.

As with most rowing boats with wineglass transoms, the stern is depressed with a passenger in the stern sheets and the rower amidships and coming up to the catch. Even so, the bow remains low and the hull is not badly out of trim.

When I pulled on the oars the first time, I was amazed and delighted with the performance of the Glen-L design. The Whitehall is easily driven, runs straight, and is stable, although initially tender. A solo rower or sculler, more properly can easily sustain 4 knots. For tandem fixed-thwart rowing the stretchers are removed and then two rowers can sit on the thwarts between the tracks.

It comes down to a question of elbows and knees. Now that we have the Whitehall, members of my family would rather row than walk on the beach, a sure sign of a good design. The boat is not too big to use as a dinghy for a larger vessel, or too small to provide a workable platform for scuba diving and snorkeling. The light weight of my Whitehall makes whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone easy to move off and on the trailer.

The stock trailer I bought and modified for the boat weighs about lbs, so the load is an easy tow with my Mini Cooper Sport.

We were delighted with the positive reception the boat received by attendees and by rowing aficionados in particular. The Glen-L Whitehall is a great boat and a real crowd whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone. Joe Titlow is a retired research engineer, working primarily in the aerospace industry.

In time it will likely be retired to a garage for a number of years before it is offered for sale for far less than what it cost to build.

The general shape of this boat is nice, but this boat is WAY too long, deep, beamy, and heavy to be rowed safely or efficiently by a single oarsman. Most of the time open-water rowboats have one to three people in. Yet, this boat is almost too heavy to be carried any distance by even four people. Take my word for it, this boat probably turns like a battleship and whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone scare any rower smaller than Lou Ferrigno in his prime when rowed off a rough coast in high winds.

The only way to salvage this boat is to fit it with a small outboard motor. I apologize to the builder and owner of this craft for my sharp criticism. I agree, eventually is rather indeterminate.

If you are not forced whitehall 17 sailing rowboat zone compete against other builders, I suppose it could be postponed indefinitely. It also takes a while to build connections that lead to better deals on materials and milling services. Please understand this, this is not a terrible boat per se. It is a terrible boat for anyone who wants to enjoy it alone or with one other person.

Again, I mainly fault the marine publishers for not updating their offerings. With access to better information, people will make better design choices. You are correct.

Yes, the total cost for the boat no oars, rowing gear, trailer. The boat lumber including delivery was 50 percent of the cost. Since I wanted to do a natural finished hull, I purchased top-quality western-red-cedar and Sitka-spruce boards. Included in the boat-lumber cost was a trial run at having a shop mill the bead-and-cove planking strips.

That did not work out, which led me to buy my own shaper. Milling the planking strips took time, but I was very pleased with the results. Looks like a stretched version of the Cosine Wherry.

The lines suggest that your boat should slide quite easily through the water. Very nice looking boat, to say the. Well. Enjoy it! I hope no one took my earlier comments as an attack on Mr. Titlow as either a craftsman or as a human.

My praise of his efforts was genuine. Like most of my colleagues in the professional boat design and building community I tend to give amateurs, and especially first-time boatbuilders plenty of slack and encouragement.

We all remember that our first attempts were not as nice as our tenth, or one hundredth. During the run of the experiment dozens of designs were tested. Often as many as 15 or 20 designs would show up at an event to be tested off the beaches of Cape Cod.

Much to the surprise of many, none of the coastal workboat replicas did well after the sub lbs.

Perhaps an even bigger surprise is that four of the seven boats that ever won were designed by persons who are still alive! The notion that coastal workboat replicas are well suited to rowing for fun seems to be a midth century fabrication and, indeed, is almost never backed up in the historical record. It was mostly the poor who rowed whatever boats they could get their hands on.

Francis Herreshoff stated plainly that in the Golden Age of Rowing the Victorian Era the well-heeled regularly rowed long, narrow, low-sided, lightweight boats. The idea that most recreational rowers need boats capable of carrying a half ton of passengers and cargo is belied by the fact that couples regularly take canoe trips of two weeks or longer with no more than lbs of gear and food.

Certainly having a craft that the two of them can easily carry over a portage is a plus. That said, properly reinforced with more than 4-oz fiberglass cloth the Glen-L Whitehall 17 would make a fine craft for a group of energetic scouts out for a day of adventure.

They are long enough so that I can easily row at 4 knots, but they are also short enough that my wife and daughters can handle them. They have held up very well with almost five years of use. I treat the leathers with Oarsman Marine Tallow every few months.

Well worth the trip to see oars and paddles being made. In fairness to Mr. Titlow and those reading this article, he should have made this commercial affiliation clear in his first reply so that all readers could take his multiple lengthy negative workboat comments in context and perhaps with a grain of salt. Titlow clearly built the right boat for himself and his family. Well done, sir. Andre: Respectfully, you are clearly passionate about your design skills and your rowing boat.

Perhaps it would be better to submit a descriptive article about it for all readers to see and let it stand on its own merits, rather than bury your personal design positions in these replies? I suspect many potential owners of future rowing craft would be interested in reading it.

And it may generate the public interest you seek here for your designs. Andre is certainly positive and correct about his thoughts about single-seat weight, length, and rowing speed, and indeed nothing has beaten traditional Adirondack Guideboats in the Blackburn. But Andre could make his case without dissing other designs. Models like the Whitehall were never intended, except casually, to be rowed solo, something that you can see when you look at the rowing positions.

Traditionally these boats carried passengers and were rowed by a pair. Adding a slide helps a solo rower in boat optimized for a pair.
