Yesterday‘s project was working out the seating and flotation for the St. Lawrence River Skiff. The geometry for the pedal drive forces me to make a lot of compromise that I’m not 100% thrilled about but it is what it is. The seats are a bit lower than I prefer for pedaling, and a bit higher than I prefer for rowing, and because the flotation tubes overlap the front seat, the float is also pushed higher than I would like. I could get custom tubes made to fit between the seats, but that would be expensive and these are cheap and extremely durable.
