It’s hard to find plans for a sliding-seat rowing craft that strikes a happy balance between an out-and-out high-performance craft and a traditional Whitehall-type pulling boat that has been fitted with small outriggers and a seat that slides. To fill this void WoodenBoat arranged with Joel White to sell the plans for such a “compromise” boat of his design—and it’s indeed a beauty.
