In Response To: S&G: Big Feet - Tern or Coho (Robert Owens)

: I just finished an Arctic Tern 14. I love the boat, but my size 11 feet are a
: bit if a squeeze.
: OK - question - will the extra inch in depth in the Coho, or Tern 17 be
: enough for my feet or do I need to go to the Tern High to get 2 1/2 inches
: more?
: I have to enter the Kayak from a fixed dock in tidal waters. The Tern is
: stable enough to make that fun but possible. Will the Coho make this wet
: and impossible?

I have a Coho and my size 11's fit fine. I also usually put in at a fixed dock in tidal waters and haven't had too many problems staying dry.

Haven't tried the Tern but that's probably my next project to build.

Regards, Gary
