Bill, I have built the Pygmy Queen Charlotte, which has a hard chine hull. Building it was easy, except for a lot of sanding. The kayak performs better than any other kayak I have ever paddled. It doesn't need a rudder to behave in the wind, and it performs great in rough water. You put it on its edge, and it turns nice and sharp with the hard chine. The QC is an earlier Pygmy design, and it performs so well that I am willing to bet that the newer Pygmy designs are just as good if not better. You really can't go wrong with Pygmy. By the way, I have no affiliation with the company.
