>sandy's plans call for spacing the outwales to allow for installation of the oarlock blocks. i like jason's method where the outwales are flush with the side of the boat. jason, how do you attach your oarlock blocks?
>thanks, tam
Make your blocks to the desired shape you would like. Then cut out the same shape in the inwale and slide them in. Screw them in and glue with epoxy. Mine are dovetailed in but they can be square blocks as well.
