Pittwater Recreational Rowing Scull | For Sale

Item Posted: 17/01/2024

This single chine Oregon pine and marine ply hull design was developed for light weight recreational rowing skiff that could be easily carried on  a medium sized car. The hull shape is designed to handle relatively choppy conditions, and being very stable, inexperienced rowers can become competent in a short time.

The rowing scull is 4.65m in length, 0.77m wide. And weighs 25kgs, making it manageable for one person and easy with 2. I named the scull ‘Carbon Credit’ which references the original and natural carbon fibre. 

I bought the rowing scull several years ago as a ‘covid’ project. I wasn’t a rower, but I quickly learned the basics. I have used the rowing scull on lakes, rivers, bay, and estuaries and harbours  along the NSW coast. It always draws interested onlookers being such an all wood, eye catching design.

I now have other boating commitments so I haven’t been using the scull enough. So I though it would be best if it found another home.  Asking price is $,2800 and includes:

• David Payne designed 4.65m scull
• Aluminiun riggers
• Pair of ‘Sargent & Burton” Oregon Pine oars. Traditional blades.
• Pair of ‘Burnham’ stands
• Trolly for one person ground transport.

If you are interested in the scull or would like further details, please contact me, Robert Baker, on 0413 019 940 or email rjbaker8494@gmail.com
