Two 10's and a 24 is only 44" so they're allowing you 2 inches of slop in your cutout. If you can't cut closer to the line than 2 inches, then maybe you need some practice before starting to build a boat.

Apr 23, 2020 · The cajun secret pirogue plans called for running boards for the same purpose but the 3/8' okoume was substantial enough. I think we are leaning towards using the lightest, thinnest ply that we can get away with since we navigate waters that dont have that many rocks or hard objects to hit. Not to mention, we won't be traveling very fast either.

Aug 20, 2014 · The sides are 10" like the JEM plans call for. I made my bottom rail 1.5" wide and the top 1" wide. If I had to do it again I would find some clear cedar trim boards 10-12 ft.x6" and scarf them together then lay out the bottom rail the proper way …

Mar 19, 2023 · Our next step is to make cardboard patterns of each panel for the stitch and glue boat. This will include converting the paper plan measurements into the shape of the various panels that will form the stitch and glue boat. For this boat we used the plans for the prototype Crawdad bottom, and side panels were modified from a previous build.

I am a yak fisherman in Atlanta.I recently completed my second Greenland paddle and his boat would fit perfectly with it. This fella you found is a genius. At 18 pounds the boat could fly. I was wondering if you have gotten together with him on any plans.

You can see the plans for the Pirogue on UJ's web site without the measurements. That, along with the Skiff plans should be all you need. Perry, I know you can do it! 8) Mike S. Spring ...

Nov 9, 2008 · Hello, all- I have received my plans from Uncle John and will start building a pirogue very soon. This will be my third plywood boat, and I can see that it will be the simplest that I have built. The ones I've built previously were a Bolger Nymph (8ft long multi-chine stitch and glue dingy) and a Michelak Roar II (14ft multi-chine row boat).
