My Auk 14 was my first stripper, also built from a kit. My experience was that it being a shorter, wider boat than others it required more bending and twisting of strips, and frankly, I found that the bead and cove strips made this more of a PITA than subsequent builds with square edged strips.
I find it to be not a very fast boat but it handles well and I find it quite stable. I like it.
