In Response To: Re: Don't Pygmy boat builders know about this site (Chris Kulczycki)

As a new builder (and trained researcher) I found the matter of temporary frames to be an interesting difference between two design philosophies. I am still honestly curious about what effect if any they have on the final composition, if any, of a stitch and glue kayak. It would not surprise me at all if I would like CLC's boats better than Pygmy's. I am just curious about the building technique itself.

Not to fuel the flames, but does any one know if Pygmy holds a patent on the frame thing? I know they patent their individual desgins. Is this the reason for the flame Chris?
