In Response To: Anyone build from a Pygmy kit? (Sue)

I will be finished building the Arctic Tern this week! A few comments... The butt joints are very easy and straight forward to assemble and help in keeping the panels alligned when stiching the boat together, also, I have not noticed any flat spots 2) The multi panel deck is lower at the shear joint so your knuckles won't be hitting the deck when paddling and it seems very strong. I personally bought the A.T. because of its performance characterestics (tracking and surfing) and I liked the way it looks......especially now! Hope she paddles as well as she looks!

Have fun building your new kayak! It's a great experience.
