The Boat

I spent some time on my vacation researching kayak kit options. "Re-researching," actually, as I'd begun looking into them 6 or 7 years ago.  After clarifying my needs and weighing the options, I've decided to build the Arctic Tern 14 by Pygmy Boats, pictured here:

This is a hard-chined, 14 foot kayak that weighs just 32 lbs. It totally meets my own design requirements. It's easy on the eye. I've read as many reviews as I can find, and everyone seems to love this boat. It's stitch-and-glue construction and should take approximately 70 hours to build. It also fits my budget reasonably well.

But before I order the boat kit, I need to first figure out where I'm going to build it...
