Outriggers are done, well as far as I can go right now. They are still held in place with some F-clamps so I need to order hardware.  I think I will start sanding and varnishing everything next. It might get skinned up a little but I can touch it up before I do the final assembly.

It is supposed to be stormy but since the storms are not here, I decided to take some  FROG photos (Frame On Grass).  Looking at it the outriggers look sort of narrow but they are correct for a set of 8 foot long oars. I wanted to start with these and see what I have built. If I don’t have any problems and decide later I want to try some 9′ oars, it’s just a matter of building a new set of outriggers and bolting them on to the frame.
