I am now building my third Pygmy kit, the Coho. She is 17.5 feet long and is constructed from mahogany plywood using the "stitch and glue" method. The kit arrived in two boxes. One eight-foot box contains all of the wooden parts and another box contains the gallons of epoxy, the fiberglass cloth and tape and other miscellaneous items.

I still have the 16 foot table setup from building the Taiga canoe. I have tacked down the deck panels in preparation for the gluing of the butt joints. Each panel has two joints. One is near the center of the deck and the other is about a foot from the stern end. I have placed waxed paper under each joint and have a strip of fiberglass tape cut for each joint.
