In Response To: Pygmy vs. CLC??? (Jed)

Jed, Both companies use 4mm ply,epoxy and glass. If I was you I'd narrow the choice to which boat you want then which company is simply the consequence of who makes the boat. CLC makes a 16 footer and lower sheer 16 which is good if you don't head out with 220lbs (you and gear) every time you paddle. Pygmy makes good designs as well. The negative advertising is a relic of quirky personalities and doesn't reflect the attitudes of the people working at these business. In my opinion the various "defining characteristics" (scarf/butt/multi/single chine) don't matter much when out paddling. I've built a few from both companies and look forward to building more.
