I'm itching to build a pirogue. I've been studying plans and pictures and reading and sketching and dreaming and...well, you get the picture.
I'm really interested in building a pirogue using this method :http://ngc704.home.comcast.net/~ngc704/herbc/. I like the light weight, and building technique.
One question, though, is about the height of the sides. Aluminum coil comes in 10.5" and 14" widths. I'm leaning towards the 14" for the sides, but wonder what the experts say?
Guess I should also add that I'm planning on a 14' boat with 32" beam...
Basically, 10.5" or 14" sides?
