I have built a stitch and glue, Pygmy Arctic Tern kayak. It was a fairly 
straightforward and pleasurable process. The directions and tech support 
were excellent. The boat itself handles quite nicely in all weather (and 
doesn't need a skeg or rudder). I have not built a strip boat, but I think 
that process is a good bit more time consuming, although strip boats are 
almost always stunning to look at.

  4. Are there other designs that you

Definitely check out Pygmy Boats. www.pygmyboats.com
