The boat name is pronounced. Pe' row. 35 years ago in bayou country an elderly woman was standing and push poling herself across a bayou where she lived ... I've often wondered and assumed that the proper way would be standing... Or maybe kneeling in rough water and paddle from one side .. Only takes practice.
I need more familiarization with what he's talking about. But, it's good he's teaching kids! Where kids need boats and fishing supplies. The table needs to be lowered for the kid. But what is the advantage of a pirogue? Why not widen the stern so there's more buoyancy? All reality, why not widen the bow too? Now around water hyacinth, a v-bow will allow a boat to cut through where a flat bottom will ride atop. But I don't know if a person can paddle through hyacinth.
In South Louisiana, at Fort Jackson in the 70's, they had pirogue races, where they used engines and were fast! They were originally built with Cypress. Nicholas Poret sells his book on Building Cypress Pirogues which is a good book. Then Nichols State University has an extension around Thibodeaux, La. Traditional Louisiana Boat School or something like that which I think is on you tube.
hi it looks a very well done job is it possible to have some details of the hydraulic pump and motor size and makes and the size of the ship as we are also planning to make modification of our ship . I will be very thankful you for your help. thanks.
Nice looking end result! I will never get over starting how you guys on your side of the pond get anything to line up properly with measurements like inches, feet and fractions thereof.
Pygmy is really good about the documentation they send with their kits as is CLC. They're also available for support if you find yourself with a bad case of amine blush or your epoxy isn't curing well. For first time boat builders, a pre-cut kit is a safer bet. Trying to get a good scarf join on 4mm plywood isn't as easy as it looks. Once you've built your first boat, you can build your second with or without plans if you have much in the way of imagination. There are many free plans out there too. Then again, I trust a boat builder for boat plans more than a general woodworking site.

Wow! Apalach! I have friend who live in Port St. Joe up the highway. I built a pirogue back in 2007/08. had it out in conditions way too windy for it, but it got me back home alright. Stuck to ponds after that.
