Guide to construction by Tom Hill:
I wrote an essay about our tender for Points East Magazine:
The Little Red Boat That Could
Points East Magazine
June 2021
Back in 1999, my father built a rowboat. He named her after his granddaughter Heidi, who was born the same year. The boat has provided excellent service for our family and especially for me. I calculate she has been towed and rowed over 35,000 nautical miles, a distance equal to 1.41 trips around the globe at the equator. She is eager for more. At 22 years young, she is just now entering her prime.
All the memories she’s provided drift back to me when I have her up on sawhorses for paint in the spring. Most prominently featured are the hours spent transfixed by her dance on the tow line. She skips along back there mile after mile in the random chop, always doing her best to catch up. Weeks, maybe months, of my life have been spent contently gazing upon this happy futility.
The boat was built to a Steve Redmond design called Tetra. Tom Hill’s helpful book, Ultralight Boat Building, details a technique for constructing her out of plywood and hardwood. My father chose Okoume plywood, 6-mil for the planking and 12-mil for the bottom and transom. The rails, keel, skeg, stem, breasthook, quarter knees, frames and seats were cut from Honduran mahogany. A handsome pair of spruce wide blade spoons with mahogany inlaid tips were provided by Shaw & Tenney for power.
I remember taking my coffee for a slow row and drift around Long Cove on Vinalhaven Island one silent morning. Margaret Wise Brown’s famous bedroom window from her children’s book Goodnight Moon came in and out of view through the fog. As did the tops of the trees surrounding the harbor and the tops of the masts in it. When the fog suddenly lifted, color flooded over everything. I rowed back toward the smells of frying eggs and bacon surrounded by the clearest, brightest Maine morning I had ever been a part of.
At only 44 pounds, Heidi’s no Ever Given and will never be stuck for long in any canal. Two people can carry her easily. In a pinch, one person can manage her on a shoulder alone. (I’ve been in exactly that pinch many times.) Thanks to her significant skeg and a narrow transom at the waterline, she tracks well under oar and rides light and straight on the towline. A low sheer line and graceful overhangs deliver a boat that rows like a dream and is pleasing to the eye. It also delivers a boat that is small for her 9’8’’ LOA. What she gains in performance and displacement, she gives back in load carrying capacity. She’s an ideal boat for a rower and a dog.
One powerful row down and back the length of Lake Tashmoo stands out. With Bill the dog settled in and still on the aft seat, my rowing rhythm settled in to match and we found ourselves in a rare groove. Every stroke sent us surging faster across the flat water. The big spoons snapping from feathered at the catch, grabbing water and tossing us forward in perfect balance stroke after stroke. If the dog so much as twitched his tail, all would have been lost. But he stayed impossibly still and we remained at the apex of balance and speed for an epic ride.
In the rowboat’s early days, a human passenger made any journey into a bit of a slog. When so loaded, she trimmed decidedly down in the stern and freeboard aft became precariously low. Add some chop, and the calmness of a slow row with a passenger was displaced by the angsty possibility of sinking. I eventually addressed this shortcoming with an expansion of the center bench and the addition of a second rowing station 16 inches forward of the original. She trims out nicely in her new configuration and ferrying a crew member now involves a good deal less bailing.
The obligatory morning row to the beach is one of the many advantages of sailing with a dog. A recent summer sunrise found us anchored off of Camp Island in Merchant Row, decadently situated between Maine’s Penobscot and Jericho Bays. The water here is clear and the beaches are very fine. It’s the sort of spot that begs to be explored by oar.
“Hop in Bill,” I said, “No time to waste. The boat needs a row.”

A Spare Parts List
Breaking Down The Art of Breaking Down
“‘We must all suffer from one of two pains:
The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.
The difference is discipline weighs ounces while regret weighs tons.”
– Jim Rohn
A good onboard inventory of spare parts is a treasure chest. It’s like having your own custom-built marine store at arm’s reach at all times. Spare parts make crucial repairs possible and are essential equipment to carry. Experienced sailors cherish their spares and will happily make space for them aboard at the cost of room for other important things like surplus food and extra crew. You’re going to need most everything on the spares list eventually, so the expense is justifiable. Wisely purchasing ahead is good seamanship.
Spare parts lists should be customized to match the boat. The list below serves as a good generic starting point:

Yes, this is a long list. And no, not even I, its author, stock all of the above spares on my 36-foot cruising boat. In some cases, an item is not applicable to my boat, but I felt compelled to include it for the purposes of this general discussion. I’ve noted these items as “N/A” in the list above. (In some cases, “N/A” also stands for not available. The outcome is the same, so I didn’t bother with a different acronym.) The careful reader will also note that several items are listed as “S&M.” It’s not what you think! In this case, the acronym stands for “storage and money.” As in, if I had more storage space and/or more money, I would add this item to my spare parts inventory because I think it is worthy of inclusion. As is the case with all dogma, use your best judgment when you work out your own list for your own boat.
Smart Storage
With so many parts and supplies stowed on a boat, it can be hard to find the part you need when you need it without some well-thought-out organization. Maintaining a storage map for your boat will help you lay hands on parts when needed. A checklist of parts will help with inventory. The numbers following the parts on list above indicate the location on the storage map for my boat.
Some practical logic is worth considering when thinking about spares. Opting to stow a spare part near where it will ultimately be put into service is smart storage. Triple-plastic-bagging is smart storage. Stowing heavy things low and amidships is smart storage and good seamanship. Soft-sided storage bags, especially parachute bags, deliver both compact and flexible packing that tends to maximize the use of unusually shaped storage spaces.
For ease of installation, spare parts should be identical to the parts currently in service aboard the boat. When you use a spare, don’t forget to replace it in the inventory at a the next convenient and cost-effective opportunity. For installation of most spare parts, you will need tools. Oftentimes, sealants, adhesives, and lubricants will also be required. We’ll save the review of those supply lists for another discussion.
Obsolescence
Obsolescence provides a compelling argument for stocking spares. Nowhere is that more true than in the quickly evolving world of marine electronics. New equipment on your boat today is likely to be outdated in three years, and many replacement parts may no longer be available then. Likewise, a replacement component purchased three years from now is not likely to be compatible with the rest of the networked system you currently have installed aboard.
I was recently tasked with repairing an autopilot system on a sailboat. Troubleshooting led me to conclude that the box containing the central computing brain in the system had failed beyond repair. That component, although only a few years old, was obsolete and no longer available from the manufacturer or anywhere online, new or used. The updated replacement component from the manufacturer was not compatible with all the other older parts that plugged into it: the drive unit, compass, rudder angle indicator, and control head. The only solution was to replace the entire autopilot system. The new drive unit required engineering and construction of a new mount. The new generation of communication cable used by the new autopilot was incompatible with the networked chart plotter, necessitating the replacement of that screen as well. Once renewed, the chart plotter was no longer compatible with the existing radar or the wind, speed, and depth instruments. At the end of the project, the VHF radio was the only component in that boat’s electronics system that didn’t demand renewal as this project snowballed. (But it did require a software update.) None of the electronics on this boat were exceptionally old, but to maintain full functionality, I needed to replace almost everything because of one failed component.
For compatibility’s sake, it’s wise to equip a boat with the same generation of electronics built by one manufacturer. When renewing a suite of electronics, it’s prudent to purchase spares for every component and every cable in the system. Spare electronics are also excellent to have on hand for troubleshooting tasks.
Marine electronics are expensive, but installation engineering, wiring, and installation labor is considerably more costly. Opportunity costs associated with a mid-season breakdown are the highest of all. If you conclude that you need a piece of electronic equipment on board, then you need spares for all components in the networked system.
In today’s age, phone apps are ever more relevant onboard, and as such, ever more worthy of backing up with a spare. The prudent mariner will load all favorite weather, navigation, satellite phone, cruising guides, and other relevant apps, complete with subscriptions as needed, onto another device aboard, such as a tablet or a regular crew member’s phone. This way if the boat’s primary navigation phone is lost, stolen, or sunk, functionality aboard won’t skip a beat while waiting for that lost phone to be replaced.
Different spares for different ships
Sailors use their boats in different ways, and the onboard inventory of spare parts should be adjusted accordingly:
– The day-sailor’s need for spare parts is negligible, aside from a spare hat should one get lost over the side. This boat is always close to home, where parts should be relatively easily sourced as needed. Considerations for obsolescence is a noteworthy exception.
– The coastal cruiser is well advised to store a full complement of spare parts aboard. Having the right spare aboard to enable the timely repair of a crucial system while at sea is an important safety factor for the near-coastal boat. If you can limp into port with a broken gear, stocking spares is still a valuable practice. When a component fails during your mid-summer cruise, sourcing that part will become your first project, or your local mechanic’s first task. Inevitably, it will be a Friday afternoon, and your replacement part won’t arrive until Tuesday at the earliest. Having the spare part already aboard will save you a long delay and an expensive second trip to the boat for the mechanic, if you opt to hire one. Also, a planned purchase in advance, without express shipping, will be less expensive than rushing the part to the boat when it’s suddenly needed.
– The ocean-crossing boat must carry all her spare parts despite the competing demands for storage space aboard such a boat. Because self-sufficiency is mandatory in the middle of the ocean, the crew of this boat should possess the tools and knowledge required to install all the spare equipment. If the crew lacks the strength or skills to replace all the components of the boat’s systems while at sea, they needn’t give up their dream of crossing an ocean. Instead, they should opt to cross an ocean in a simpler boat.
– The captain of the near-coastal race boat, obsessed with minimizing weight, may take a “damn the torpedoes” attitude and opt to stow many of their spares on the shelf in the chandlery. The offshore race boat, on the other hand, should value self-sufficiency and carry most recommended spares aboard despite the weight.
When buying or selling a used boat, a proper inventory of spare parts should be expected as a part of the transaction. An inadequate supply of spares should be a red flag for any buyer and make them question where else the seller has cut corners in regard to boat care.
