Piragua is quite similar to the peero you are looking at from common sense . the problem with commonsenses brueprints are they look to be copies of copies of copies I built food stores for many years and often times needed to get a set of prints copied when the prints get torn and folded and then someones copies them they are really hard to read hard to pick up details etc . The peero I have built was drawn for John harris origanlly I think. It was kina tender you get used to it but you need to constantly pay attention.
