I wouldnt be afraid of a tortured deck, they are easy to do. There are lots of Pygmy builders on the board, you'll get good support there.

I'd tell you to build the Sea Wolf, because there arent a lot of them on the board, and we'd all like to know more!

I think it's a reasonable assumption that whichever design you choose, if it's been around awhile the support is probably very good.

: Well, I don't know if I will have any luck, but here goes: I am considering
: building my first kit. I have narrowed it down to the Pygmy Arctic Tern,
: and one I am not sure anyone has heard of or built, the Sea Wolf by Ron
: Folland out of Quebec. Here is my laundry list: I am 5' 8" 180lbs
: Lot's of storage
: I need easy, easy instructions and plenty of pictures
: I don't mind tortured decks, but... I prefer not to have one, looks too
: complicated. Any ideas?
