Yes, Graham is a marine architect and is very responsive to inquiries. I have his plans for the the Core Sound 20' sailboat (and the money to build it squirreled away). They were very helpful with me when I bought the plans a few months ago. He also seems to be very responsive on changing the plans to his boats if someohe finds a problem or has a great idea.

I think his Diva Kayak is a quite striking boat. However I don't think Graham is an avid kayaker. So the boat may have some problems that a causal paddler wouldn't notice. Thats why I asked what others thought about that tall deck.

Regardless, I keep coming back to the boat. I want to build a kayak before I start building my sailboat. I figure the sailboat will take a minimum of several months and most likely close to year to build. I figure if build the kayak it will give me an escape to water when the building gets frustrating.
