In Response To: Which boat? (Bruce)

: Any suggestions on which of Nick Schade's boats to build? I am about 140 lbs,
: 5'7" tall and would like to kayak on lakes and the occassional calm
: river, only short day trips. I am just a beginner and have only rented a
: few different boats. I like kayaks that are both easy to maneuver around
: the shore but still fast and straight tracking. I really like the looks of
: the Guillemot, but am wondering if the Guillemot Play might be better for
: me. Thanks.

Check his Night Heron, and Rob's Shooting Star (http://www.laughingloon.com/). Should be right in the sweet spot.
