Hi Dave, looking forward to it's debut. I made a Pygmy 13 for my daughter 5yrs ago and that kayak has done duty for small adults a lot. If the AT14 is as much of an evolution that the Coho is from the Standard then I'm sure some folks are going to be very happy. I built the 13 with the idea that someone might be landing on rocks with it so I overbuilt it wonderfully,,and it's still light.

I've always wanted to make a skinny short kayak for kids but I guess the market isn't there, which is odd since kids aren't top heavy and don't need all the beam that grown ups do.
