2020年4月23日 · Pirogue Pros. Light weight car/truck toppers. I haul mine on top of a Toyota corolla and can load/unload by myself no problem. Classic style boat and an homage to cultural, historical roots. These get more looks and conversations started than my old off-the-shelf fishing kayak. Only requires a couple sheets of ply and some extra lumber

2008年3月12日 · That pirogue seems to have sides that were almost vertical, well maybe 15 or 20 degrees. Spreading the sides out increases the displacement (footprint of the boat) as the boat is loaded. It also offers more stability as you lean from side …

2011年2月17日 · Not finished but getting there. A very big thanks to Swampwood for his help and heated shop. As usual thanks to Keith and seedtick for advice and inspiration. Built it on a strongback with stations, stapleless. Western red cedar and cypress. beekeeper

2010年10月6日 · Re: 14" x 30" x 18 lb. Pirogue I ran across some thin plastic material at Lowes a few months ago. I think I started a thread about it even. I bet it would be a good substitute for the aluminum. Wouldnt have the noise issue aluminum does. And I found out that surprisingly that contact cement works pretty well on it.

2013年6月21日 · Seems the pirogue design was in all likelihood influenced by several cultures, and then evolved locally into what I think of when I hear "pirogue." And of course, Keith & Seedtick provided a good education on the evolution in LA, due to the different uses, and the change over the years of the available building materials.

2003年10月24日 · The one pirogue that I stretched out to 17 feet for use as a solo paddling boat can now be used as a double paddler. One seat just behind the front rib or where ever the person in the front wants it and the second seat just in front of the back rib, or anywhere in-between to balance the boat.

2008年5月5日 · sailing pirogue I built one of your UJ pirogues, I liked it a lot, I had it for about 2 months befor I droped one end and broke it. I used Gorilla glue and taped the seams, when it hit the concrete it cracked up the stem.

2010年5月21日 · So a 14' long by 2' wide pirogue would have a bottom footprint (assuming a 1 ' cutback at each end) equal to two triangles,each with a base of 2' and an apex of 6'. That equals a footprint of 12 square feet so sinking the pirogue that first inch in the water would displace one cubic foot or 62.4 lb.
