sbroam- Try looking at #8818K43 rope. This is one of the materials used by a highly reputable WW custom paddle maker which I know. Wet it up with epoxy and sand smooth. Not sure what diameter works for your application but this is the one for wooden blades. Also, some of the paddle manufacturers of ...

Couple of other tips. If you catch the layup before full cure and are lucky enough to trim it with a sheetrock knife(BUY LOTSA NEW BLADES and use them, a second knife ready to go helps) don't get to concernd about getting the trim right down on the mold. If you are a little fat(some sticking up abov...

Sounds good to me. I would like to try it on flatwater first. Just keep us posted on its arrival. What other kinds of water craft do you tool around in? I may have even seen you up on the Deerfield. And Springfield is on the way. Maybe 1 1/2 hrs. for me. How far are you from T'ville? Also, Collinsvi...

Good morning all. Been incognito for a couple of weeks. I see that Don is expecting a new FINK at the end of the month. Don, where abouts in Mass. are you located? I am in Western CT(Howabout those U-Conn Huskies!) and sure would like to meet you when you get your boat. I travel up to the Deerfield ...

Anyone out there have a cascade C-1. I am looking for a couple of measurements off it. Specificly, the length and width of the cockpit opening and the depth from the hull to the top of the rim at the back of the pedestal.

Thanks for all the input. Martin, thatsalotta good info. Next question is for anyone that has a Cascade that can measure the length and width of the cockpit as Martin did, and the height(depth) from the hull to the cockpit. I think that this is enough information for me to make an educated decision ...

WOW! I have been reading all the posts (5 pages) reguarding the Robson Finkenmeister. Thought it was time to start a Topic page. I have been actively investigating a wwC-boat for some time now and had almost resigned myself to an to an OC-1. After reading all the envios fuss stirred up over Martin,s...
