Steve, I see oars but I can't imagine where one sits to row. I assume you did the centerboard option, so is there enough room for you butt/back when rowing? Any mods to support?
TM, i remove the steering compass on the centreboard top, and put a big cushion on it. Then there is sufficient room to get rowing. Navigator was never designed for rowing long distances, so i tend to row short distances; if longer, then I motor. Many in the UK dinghy cruising association success a yuloh oar off the back of the transom - but with mizzen mast, boomkin, rudder head and motor - it already feels crowded!!
Thanks for taking a look at my blog. All comments and advice are welcome - drop me a few lines. You can always find videos about Arwen at www.youtube.com/c/plymouthwelshboy. Look forward to hearing from you. Steve
Everything looks ready for a great day Steve! And I see Arwen in a very good shape.
