A few months ago I decided to enter the Extreme Raid 2016
organised by Koos Winnips.
It will take place on 3rd September 2016 on the Lauwersmeer in the northernmost part of Holland.
It is a 50km race in windy and shallow waters. To be successful you must be able to row and sail.
I bought new 8' oars and aluminium rowlocks at The Bootbouwer.
Today I removed the partial bulkheads and fitted the rowlocks, after repairing the starboard gunwhale.
The gunwhales were made out of fir. This time I drilled pilot holes before screwing on the rowlocks.
Next time I should perhaps choose another wood for gunwhales as well.
