Ditto, re: Cohos, and Pygmys in general. My impression is that with the Coho (I have two), the Tern (have a Tern 14, which is a sort of plywood Coaster, very neat and nimble), and other Lockwood designs, you get more "naval architecture" than with CLC, which all seem to have straight-line speed in mind. I'm likely prejudiced, however, and haven't paddled a CLC boat. Knowledgeable and able kayakers think a lot of the Coho, which is a class-A boat, imho. A bit tippy in the initial stability, but easy to handle; very solid in secondary stability and easy to turn. No tracking problems at any point to wind and waves in my experience, which includes an outing in 35 knots +.

Hope this helps.
