This is what it says in Tn.'s book. Sailing Vessels & Vessels Under Oars A sailing vessel, under sail alone, shall exhibit the lights shown on figure 4, 5 or 6. A vessel under oars or a sailing vessel of less than 7 meters (22 ft. 10 in.) shall, if practicable, exhibit the lights...

Thanks guys for all the info. Gives me a lot to study on and play with. I'd have to come down your way to get any of those things. We have Catfish and Crappie. Lets see, 4' pirogue filled with catfish and crappie fillets, and hushpuppys. Not quite crawfish, but it would work! :lol...

Mat, looking at it from the other way, your saying that two hulls of the same design, one with more rocker and flare than the other, loaded with the same weight, the one with less rocker would pull less draft, right? Thanks Richard

I noticed on the picture example seedtick posted above that there is a lot of ark for 35 deg. flair. Is there a formula for this, as in (for example) an inch of ark nullifys (sp?) 5 deg of flair? Or is it not that simple. I noticed that the sides in seedticks example didn't seem to be the same...

Thanks guys, thats a lot of info. I was thinking in the right direction on some of it. I hadn't gone as far as thinking about the rocker. A lot of this makes sense to me but it's not realy going to hit home until I build my first one. U.J.'s is about half of what yours are seedtick. I was...

On more than on thread Keith has brought attention to the amount of flair in the side of his pirogues vs. other designs like Uncle Johns. My question is how does the amount of flair affect the boat, in particular a pirogue. I'm guessing how much you put in would depend on intended use and...

In the medical portion I would put a small tube of super glue. It can be used as a waterproof liquid bandage to keep dirt out and nasty water out of a wound, it can be used as suctures, or minor equipment/shelter repairs. Richard

If you like that poem look for a book I believe is titled "Tales From the Yucon" by Robert Service. I shop Barnes and Nobel or Amazon on line, they both have used book sections where you can find just about anything you want in out of print books. Robert Service's poems about the Yucon and Gold...

All the talk on here got me curious about hammocks this summer. I'm not prone to laying on my back, and didn't know if I would like one. I bought a CHEAP 10 x 12 tarp, folded it to make a 10 x 6, gathered and whipped the ends and hung it between a shed post and a tree. My grandson (1 yr.old) and...

Does it have an inter-com so the feller in front can talk to the feller in back? :lol:

Here is another site about it. It's pretty amazing. I think I'll stick to bait! Richard Sorry, that address didn't go where it was suposed to :oops: I'll try to find the right one.

Of course you did! According to MSN Money's current exchange rate you lost 217.00001 Pounds (British)!!! :lol: Sorry, I couldn't resist, been there, done that!!! :oops: Richard

Mick, I am curious how much damage the frost you got the other day did to the flowers, shrubs, etc. in your yard? Richard

I've fished with a few unsavory guys over the years, but I wouldn't go so far as to call them that!!!!!! :lol: The maggots will tear blue gill up. Also jap beatle grubs, the ones that eat your lawn, will drive them crazy. I don't know about the spider knock-off. I've seen a lot of spiders...

Here is a link for a stove I found that is interesting, but I havent built it yet. http://thru-hiker.com/projects/nimblewill_stove.php It can be built out of just about anything you can scroung :wink: Richard

I don't know anything about fiberglass, but....should biaxial or triaxial cloth be considered for potential impact areas? Thats pretty much what TRR did on his last sample isn't it? Richard

I'm not sure how you can stand to part with them when there done. It's beautiful. Richard

This has been talked about quite a bit. I think most of these guys are going to say a good quality carbide paint scraper. I think the sander is way to much overkill. Richard

Thanks for sharing. That's a fantastic story. To have hooked it the way he did and still make it in is stagering odds. He should have put some money on the ponys that day also! Makes you wish you were there.

I liked the looks of it enough to order a set of e-mail plans for it to take a look at. I got an order acknowledgement right away, two weeks later I still haden't recieved the plans so I sent them an e-mail and got no response. Waited a week sent another, still no answer. I let it go and three...
