> dave Dave: Congrats on the new Coho. I have an Artic Tern 17'. You mentioned an Artic Tern 14'. I've not seen it yet. Where did you see or hear about it? I did not see it on Pygmy's web site. I would like to build a Coho next and also need a smaller kayak for my 10 year old son, and that A.T. 14' sounds like a possibility.
