Hello all. Been a while since I last visited, but interest is growing again in my brain to build, so I have a question.
I did purchase the plans for the Touring Pirogue, and then the plans for the T were released. I never built the Touring Pirogue, and I realized that the T would be even better. Now I see there is a TV, so I wonder which would be best for me, T or TV.
One of my ideas is to actually sleep in the floor with my feet tucked under some front decking, and a tarp over the boat, to avoid the need to carry my tent.
As such, I wanted to simply pull up on shore, and with the flat bottom it would rest flat on the ground without any support.
Would a T with maybe some thin strips along the bottom for skid protection/tracking paddle as good as the TV, or would the TV paddle so much better than the T, that I should go this direction? The "V" looks shallow enough to not interfere with sleeping plans in any way, other than the need to probably brace the boat a bit with a stick if I drag it ashore to sleep. Thoughts ? Suggestions ?
Thanks in advance.
Gerald
