I built an Artic Tern 14 and am very pleased with it. The people at Pygmy gave me great support through the proccess. A couple features that I like are the recessed rear coaming and the cambered deck along the shear line. The building process was challenging but very rewarding. Building a stitch and glue kit was a good way for me to do my first boat. Just take your time and plan on calling Pygmy for support quite a bit. Good luck, you'll love it.
