Not to be redundant but, I built an Osprey Std. for myself this summer and just got the same kit for my wife delivered yesterday. I have been reading this BBS for a while but I haven't had any questions about building the Pygmy. Okay, I actually have one question... Why doesn't CLC use temporary frames to build ther boats like Pygmy does? Pygmy has to have the frames to form the deck correctly but they also give you a very true hull. Wouldn't frames get rid of the "twist" people are always talking about in CLC boats?

Too bad Pygmy doesn't offer plans for all designs
