: Hi!

: I am planning on building on of Tom Yost's Sonnets this year. But I would
: like some advice on which one will best suit my needs.

: I am 6 ft tall, weigh in at 200 pounds.

: I am an experienced paddler and frequently paddle a ShearWater Blue Fin that
: is 18 ft long and 21 inches wide. However, in waves greater than 18"
: I find it tippy and prefer my wider plastic boat.

: I use a Greenland paddle.

: I do not plan on carrying a significant amount of gear in this boat. I expect
: to be paddling in inland water ways, lakes and flat water rivers. Thus, I
: am not planning on being in significant surf with this boat.

: I do not currently roll.

: Thanks in advance for the advice,
: John Van Buren

Might just Email Tom, think his address is on his website. He's been more than happy to help answer any of my questions
