Size: they say it's not important.

Hi there! I've been trying to decide on a boat to build. Here's my situation. I want to build a double with the thought that my wife or daughter will someday catch this bug and want to paddle with me. Unfortunatly, I think I'll probably be flying solo most of the time. Can anyone recoment a design that is very low volume (perhaps 17') that would serve this purpose. I've been looking at the Guillemot and the Guillemot Double but think the double will be too much boat for me to move alone. Also does anyone have any hatch building tips to create a hard, waterproof hatch out of the front cockpit when it's not being used? Thanks in advance for your help! Zax
