Your Pictures
Painter


To attach your painter line, we usually drill two half inch holes on either side of the stem just below the rail.


Pass a line in one hole, around the back of the stem and out through the other hole. You can then splice an eye or tie a bowline.
Oars
Oars are easy and fun to build. WoodenBoat Magazine and Mystic Seaport sell oar plans. WoodenBoat has run several articles on how to build oars. You can also buy oars from several suppliers including Shaw and Tenney and Brooklin Marine Supply.
