I am starting my first Pirogue. The sides and bottom have been scarfed and glued and I'm ready to cut the 45 degree angles on my sides. But need advice on how long to make the sides. The main reason I am making the pirogue is for duck hunting in water that is too deep to wade but generally protected from wind and not considered open water. I'd like for it to be a short as I can make it (for ease of moving around and taking in and out of water in less than ideal conditions) without compromising safety. I plan to make the bottom 28 inches and am using 4 ribs. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
