I cast my vote

In Response To: Please help me choose (Ian Stark)

As a Pygmy Arctic Tern builder, I cast my vote for the Coho. I'm partial to the upswept bow and the deck shear panels that you don't bang your knuckles on. Some plusses for the CLC would be that they are a bit faster to build and CLC has their annual $75-off sale going on...
