Something for the inland pyrate


Recommended Posts

There are many of the Bretheren on this list who opperate inland. That should not stop ye from enjoying boating. I have been wanting to make a Pirogue for years. A friend of mine made one of Uncle John's Pirogue made from a kit.

These boats are great pyrate boats. Now a period pirogue would be a dug out. But I think this could work.

Check out this site.

If anyone isgoing to make one, let me know. We can compare notes.

Thanks Bully. I have plans to build a knockabout sailing skiff as well as an oaring dory. Although those pirogue plans look MUCH simpler, I don't think it will take the place of the dory due to its flat bottom. I prefer something with a bit of draft in its keel for the rowing speed alone.

Would love to hear the progress on your end, however.

Me thinks the Captain has found a spring project to work on. I could use a new "Captains Launch" - I will let you know once I order the plans
