I built two Pygmy Coho's this summer. Nice boats. The kayak building BBS is at: http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/cgi-bin/KBbbs.cgi I have some notes about building the Coho, still in a bit rough format at: http://sptddog.com/daveu/kayak.html Their kits go together pretty well, and they are gorgeous boats. The finishing details they suggest seem crude by comparison, seat, hatches, etc. The kit provides just barely enough epoxy, you may need to purchase more, as well as some of the other disposable items used while building. Pygmy is pretty good at answering questions via phone or in person, not so great on email, but there are enough people on this list or the building BBS that can assist in that regard. It seems like for most of the pygmy line, there is low initial stability. The boats feel tippy getting in and getting started. However they have good secondary stability. You cringe when that first bigger wave or wake approaches you, then are all smiles to see how well it rode it out. dave -- Dave Uebele (daveu_at_sptddog.com) Spotted Dog Systems http://sptddog.com/daveu.html *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Nov 02 1999 - 07:23:59 PST
