I am a soon to be first time wood kayak builder who is absolutely torn between whether to buy the Pygmy Arctic Tern or Coho kits. I live on the east coast and paddle primarily in/around coastal waters of both the Atlantic and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay with plans for occasional overnighters along the coast or intercoastal and a long term dream of paddling the length of the Chesapeake Bay in a kayak which I built. I am 6'1", 220 and a size 11 shoe. I guess my biggest dilema in choosing between the two designs rests in performance differences of the hard chine hull of the Arctic Tern and the multi-chine hull of the Coho. Anybody have experience with either of the kayaks, particularly the Arctic Tern? I read the Sea Kayaker review of the Coho from last winter. Thanks!
