Bully MacGraw Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 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. http://www.unclejohns.com/boat/default.htm If anyone isgoing to make one, let me know. We can compare notes.

Wartooth Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 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. Wartooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
