Eastport Pram - adding sail rig
It may be a year or more after completing the rowing version of the E.P. before I can afford (time/$) the sail rig. Has anyone added the rig after the fact? Was it as simple as advertised? Any drawbacks to waiting? Thanks again, Dave

I'm in 'home stretch' of finishing the 'rowing version' now, and I too plan to add the sail rig at a later time. Yes, it does appear to be as easy as it's advertised. There's a hole in the forward seat (thwart) where the mast will pass through, and you also have to build a small mast step on the floor of the boat (under the hole in the fwd thrwart) to seat the bottom of the mast. You also have to cut a hole in the middle thrwart for the daggerboard and it's trunk - all of which takes place during the building of the 'rowing version'.
