1975 Pocock Standard Single GPRCS1570575

This boat was damaged and disassembled when I bought it for $1,000 through Rowable Classics about 2000. I don't know much about it except what is obvious: The double row of nails in the keel, the double wheel seats and nail holes for deck bede all indicate it was build by George Pocock. The tail numbers may report it to be a "standard" heavy or midweight hull design, built in May, 1975.

Restoration Notes: Repair, epoxy or glue on with Tightbond 3, sand and varnish interior. Gossamer cloth glue on with contact cement and iron to stretch. Varnish three coats. Splash guards, screw and glue on with Tightbond 3. Aft few inches and bead not glued so that deck can be replaced. Steve is so meticulous. This craft should be played only at Carnegie Hall - not rowed in a bay full of deadheads, buoys and dolphins.
