    Thanks for the kind words jack. The PFD's won't match unless I can I find them in army green or sun yellow. The girls actually have theirs on, but its hard to tell in the photo. (they're pink)

    Just finished UJ pirogue w/ pics

    Just finished my UJ pirogue. I built it exactly to plans except for the obvious changes which are purely cosmetic. I made a few mistakes, mainly with the fiberglassing. But not bad for a first timer and I know next time I can get it right. For some reason I didn't understand that I could glass...

    Q#2.... still more to follow

    I'm about 100 miles SE of OKC, near Holdenville and Ada. I just finished glassing the bottom. It sure looks better than the inside. I'm thinking about a kayak for my 2nd build. Any suggestions? thanks for the replies.

    Q#1......more to follow...

    I am glassing the sides and bottom of an UJ pirogue and am almost out of cloth (inside allready glassed). However, with some creativity I can make it work, but will have two splices on bottom and at least two on each side. Is this okay or should I just order more cloth, so i could have...
