Today, I put the last coats of paint and varnish on the boat that I am doing. I also made the "kabes" which is the word I got, from a book by Iain Oughtred, for a type of thole pin. I made them to slide over the aft rib. I also added a "stringer" of sorts on the ribs. It will help to keep the kabes in place, and make portaging a little easier. Also a good place to tie off a fender. The kabes will be lashed to them to keep from loosing them

the rowing set up. |
The yellow line was found during a clean up day down at the pond.

Something for the oar to work against. |

The piece just slides over the top of the rib. |

When using the double paddle the kabe can just hang on it's keeper.

I also spliced a painter thru the two holes that I drilled in the bow.

I hope to test the boat with oars tomorrow morning.
