So here we go.

Pirogue stability. The qualifications of quick and cheap pirogue. This can result in more. It has opened up a whole new set of places to fish that were unreachable before.

Pirogues are flat bottom hulls made from 3 panels. The Pirogue is indeed a superb paddlingcraft with the reduced rocker and narrow beam. I just put that down to some little understood bit of Cajun design practice.

The setup of a paddle-drive boat is the quickest of anything available and a simple lightweight boat is easy to take out for an impulse trip. The pirogue is believe it or not lighter than the Ultimate 12. If utilizing a pirogue in the marsh please advise.

The flat bottom provides excellent primary stability and can carry much weight while drafting little water. There is a reason and it has to do with stability not carrying capacity. First I drew lines down the length of the plywood dividing it into.

The canoe is faster but also much harder for one person to handle. Another index I derived from first principles was a capsize stability index that considered sail area and arrangement displacement and beam. UJs can be built to 157 but I cant find any info on load carrying and stability and the somewhat fine ends of a pirogue concern me.

The flat bottom provides excellent primary stability and can carry much weight while drafting For simple paddling and building they are the best. 1 They are wide at the top so a paddler has to extend their arms wide to reach over the sides. The pirogue is only a prototype at the moment also designed by Matt of Jemwatercraft.
