Scala OC1
Before you buy your own OC1 people suggest that you should try both the "sit in" and "sit on" styles to make a decision. Also think about the total weight of the boat and how far you're going to carry it once you've assembled it or maybe you're able to store it assembled. Generally the lighter they are the more expensive and fragile they are.
