My first boat building Project (not counting a couple of door-skin surfboards) was a Bolger Yellow Leaf pirogue, built from drawings in Bolger’s “Small Boats”.

Fast / Lightweight / Easy-to-BuildSpecifications:

• LOA 15′ 6″
• LWL 14′ 9″
• Beam 5′
• Draft (board up/down) 4″/36″
• Depth amidships 20″
• Sail Area 105 (lug) 14 sf (sprit)

This boat, with a LOA of 8 mt,develops an internal volume such as to allow 6 crew members a sailing cruise.The hull lines and deck lines are to corner for simplicity of construction, and are harmonized with the hull volume.
