When you get the latest Pygmy catalog in the mail(i got mine the other day), you'll see they've introduced a new hard chine design. The artic tern is 17' 23" 39#. It has the multipanel deck like the Coho & Osprey, rather than the flat decks of the Queen Charlotte. I wonder how much of this was because of CLC's West River?
