Re: [bolger] Re: Pirogue Photos
Thanks Rhett, LOA is 16ft. I live in southeast Alaska so heat and excessive
UV radiation is not a real big concern.:) Picked black because I had a can
of pricey Interlux left over from another project. I am happy with the look,
though I will keep an eye out for signs of heat damage. Phil T.

I think the vulnerable component here is epoxy, and some epoxies will take higher temperatures. I think Raka has one (www.raka.com). That's the way I'd go if I wanted a dark color.

I always worry about using dark paint (not from experience, but because I've
been warned), even on bottom (cause I might cartop, and light reflects off
water, and I live in Southeast Georgia), but it sure has a nice look. I'll
be even more tempted to ignore the warnings and go for a navy blue or pine
green next time. I expect one could be careful to minimize the possibility
of heat related problems.
What's the LOA? I like the two people rowing idea.

David, Thanks. Glad you were able to see the photos. Yes, I am making a
sailing rig. I have enough sailcloth to make a 30sq. ft. downwind sail of
the type designed by George Dyson. Its sort of a double batwing on a very
short mast (mine is 6ft.). You can see one on page 197 of his outstanding
book, " Baidarka". I also want to try the Bolger designed rig but I want a
pro to make the sail. I am also making the outriggers, two sets, so two
people can row at once using folding rowing seats.
Phil.

Phil,
The photos look great, as does the boat. Are you going to built the
sailing rig for her? How about the rowing outriggers?
