Rowboats

[Guus van Hoof]

In Woodenboat 155, a number of pictures of boats, owned by the Sanfransisco Rowing Club is shown. I am interested to build a rowingboat (2 persons) such as the VIKING.
Who can guide me to the person who sells plans for this boat, or any other rowboat with a "Herreshoff" stern.

For a Herreshoff stern I would recommend a Herreshoff design, available from the Hart Nautical Collection at the M.I.T. Museum, Kurt Hasselbalch, curator, e-mail kurt@mit.edu. There is a 19' rowing boat designed in 1896 I think that would be a great boat to build.
