"Using a GPS I could hold 4 mph for a minute or 2 and was able to briefly hit 5 mph for a momentary sprint. Long distance would be much slower of course. If I'm drag racing a raft I will implode before I would let them win !"

"You can do resin over linseed, but the gunnels will need to dry out for a year or two (I did that on my oldest oars which were first linseed-oiled, and are now epoxy/varnish).I'd agree with @Kevin Bird that boat soup is probably what…"
Kevin Bird replied to Bodacious Jack's discussion Moving on from Linsead Oil on my Inwales and grab rails for outside storage?

"There's definitely a line going left, but it won't avoid the shallow mess, you'll end up in 85% of the same mess. If I were rowing a big heavy dory that I love, I'd take out at Harpham or the City Park for sure. You…"
