Several years ago I was contemplating building a plywood boat and drove up to Port Townsend to try some of the Pygmy boats. I liked the Coho the best. Since then they've come out with the Tern and - though I've never paddled it - this would be the boat I'd build. Its easier to build and, being hard chined, will be easier to control without a rudder. From what I've read, the top speeds of the Tern and Coho are almost the same so, unless you're a speed demon, that shouldn't be much of a deciding factor. The plywood bits are CNC cut and the front /back joints are butted so everything ought to fit up nicely. Putting on the epoxy is probably the trickiest part of the whole process. Best of luck with your boat project!
