Fastenings used throughout our row boats are either bronze, copper or stainless steel. The solid teak thwarts (seats) are supported with brass knees to hull sides where needed. Sculling boats feature bronze outriggers and solid teak support systems. Seats are properly fitted with appropriate gap at hull side. Whitehall Spirit sailing models feature a removable aft thwart for additional leg room while sailing.


Model names are cast into the bronze bow caps. Bronze bowcaps and transom corners protect these areas and add traditional, old world charm.


Bow and stern eyes are wood-backed and copper sleeved, vastly superior to protruding bow eyes and extremely strong for towing purposes.Our row boats can be hung on davits or boathouse rafters using bow and stern eyes. Custom lift rings can also be installed.

Oarlock sockets are manganese bronze, precision machined, and bolted through the gunnel with bronze bolts to ensure that they never fail.These row boats are built to last a lifetime.

Sailing models are fitted with custom teak blocks manufactured in our wood shop. The sheave pin is capped with a copper coin. The lines and running rigging is a 3-strand polypropylene. It looks like the old style hemp rope but stays soft and pliant. This line is excellent for splicing and knot work.

The dagger board or centerboard wells and mast support systems are constructed of solid fiberglass, well reinforced and also integrally joined to the hull. Cast bronze centerboards, optional on some models pivit to kick up on impact. A cast bronze whale’s tail and stainless cable raises or lowers the centerboard.
Bilge drain plugs (optional) are installed in a specially thickened and reinforced section of the row boat's hull.
A custom cast bronze fitting protects the transom corner while the solid teak knee adds massive strength , grace and beauty to this area of the hull.
Boom jaws are a work of art with their leather tingles protecting the mast from chafing.
Jiffy reefing gear includes hand made parrel beads to maintain the lug position on the mast of our sailing models.

Our builder’s plaque, cast in bronze, carries the official hull number. (A serial number is also cast into the transom gel.) Like a limited edition print our row boats are designed to increase in value and become heirlooms enjoyed for generations.
