Does anyone have a URL, or any info? Thanks! e No, but I was paddling a month ago and saw a piledriver barge named Sea Wolf. Across the river was a freighter named Chembulk Rotterdam. I thought the latter was much more honestly named. I'll second or third previous pro-Pygmy comments. Good boats, good support, good folk. My Osprey HP goes like the wind. But turns kind of like Chembulk Rotterdam. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

Have you tried one of the chinier ones, like the new Arctic Tern? e Elaine Harmon - eilidh_at_dc.seflin.org - eharmon_at_cs.miami.edu *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

I'm real tempted by the feel of the Artic tern and the harder chine. dave -- Dave Uebele (daveu_at_sptddog.com) Spotted Dog Systems http://sptddog.com/daveu.html *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

Although it does have hard chines it's the same length and width as the boat I'm paddling now. I was told that the plans for the CLC Northbay that I ordered are going to be shipped tomorrow!!! For some reason it seem that very few people consider the CLC Northbay. I have seen quite a few references to their other models, even the 19.5' Patauxent, but very few seem to build the Northbay. I asked someone at CLC how it compared to a Wildnerness Systems Arctic Hawk, a hard chined boat that I really like, and he said that it was longer and faster and the cockpit was a bit roomier. It's sounds just like what I'm looking for. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

I was looking for a boat that had a smaller beam and longer than the kayak I am paddling now (not to mention lighter and fiberglass). Seems to have a low back deck as well, should be as easy (or easier) to roll as well. It has recieved quite the endorsements of all who I heard paddled it, seems to be a problem though for those with big feet however. I have admired the Pygmy boats as well, though I believe that they sell in kit form only. I have found a reasonably inexpensive okume source which should minimize cost. Keep me appraised of your project, as I will be encountering similar obstacles. > *************************************************************************** -- : : Gabriel L Romeu : http://studiofurniture.com furniture from the workshop : http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR life as a tourist, daily journal : http://users.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photographs, etchings, objects *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************
