I built a 14.5 foot version of the Guillemot last winter. Nick did post a picture of it sometime in April, I believe.

I took a little over three inches off the distance between forms, including the end forms. The resulting kayak looks great. I built a 17-footer earlier. I like the looks on the 14.5-footer more.

I built it for my young daughter. She loves its. Several adults have also paddle it and like the way it paddles.

Let me know if you have questions.
