Sampan or plank pirogue

[jdupre']

More than one way to build what is, essentially a plank pirogue. Looks heavy as heck, but I doubt it will ever be more than 20 feet away from the water for the rest of its life.

Where do you think he gets his plans from? Do you think he ordered those ribs and stems as a kit.
I think it would be neat to build with solid lumber. May have to put that on my bucket list.

I don't think his plans were even in HIS head.......just kind of winged it as he went.

You know he has built more then one from the way they put this one together.

Another plank pirogue build. This builder even has an innovated solution for moving the heavy boat.

Easy portage , could see where he was going. His ingenious style of holding the botttom on the boat as he attached it was thoughtful. I like how he made the sealent for the boat and fixed a meal at the same time.
