Weighed Canoe / Pirogue
List,
Weighed the Pirogue today and it came out 34 lbs. Dave Gulleys similar
design was 28 lbs. His is stitch and glue and mine has chine logs and
gunwhales. It still has to have a skeg and epoxy coat the inside. Will test
it this weekend (hopefully - storms forecast - usually means "clear and
dry").
Not sure how to attach a skeg. Anyone have a suggestions? The canoe is
14'3" x 30" - any idea about the size of the skeg? Other than this, I am in
complete control of the skeg situation. Also, it is double ended,
symetrical and the same on both ends - how do I know which end to put the
skeg on.
