: Hi Eric, I work for CLC so I guess I'm off the hook, I've paddled the Tern
: just a little bit and can only gather what I've heard about the Guillemot
: (man with too much time at computer), I believe Nick has a s&g guillemot,
: if it is similar to the strip built one then it probably is a little more
: maneuverable than the Tern as well as less volume. Now that you've
: narrowed it down to those totally different boats,,how about Eric Schades
: Merganser? I'll be building one with a few other boats, I think it's in
: between the Tern and Guillemot as far as volume goes,,set me straight guys
: if I'm wrong.

I think that the Merganser is probably the least volumous of the mentioned boats. Of course I am comparing the Merganser 16 and the Guillimot 17 strip boat.
