Building a Cedar Strip Handliner Rowboat
Rick Crook rowing a Hubert Evans handliner he built a few years ago.
January - March 2015: A cedar strip version of the Hubert Evans handliner was built at the Sarah Wray Hall under the guidance of boatbuilder Rick Crook of Oyster Bay Boats. The boat plans are based on lines from the Sunshine Coast Museum & Archives in Gibsons Landing. The finished boat will be the start of the Society’s small boat livery in the harbour.
