I am 6' 1", 200# the standard works fine for me, but stretching it out to 18' would not be out of line.

: I'm planning on building a Guillemot.
: I'm a fairly big guy, 6' and 220 lbs, so I'm planning to stretch it to at
: least
: 18 feet.

: I'm debating whether to stretch the width and/or height, as well, to
: come a little closer to the specs of the Guillemot-L.
: I have got all the offsets in a spreadsheet, so I can stretch any dimension
: with just a few keystrokes.

: The question is, I guess, should I stretch, say just the length and width,
: and
: leave the height alone, or what? I don't want to build a boat that is too
: large
: but I think the 17 foot Guillemot is a little too small for me.

: I'd like a reasonable amount of capacity for camping, but the boat would
: probably be used for day trips the vast majority of the time.
: I already have a Pygmy double that works very well for trips.

: I was looking at the specs for the Cape Ann at One Ocean Kayaks, and it looks
: pretty similar to what I want, but I like the looks of the Guillemot better.

: Any thoughts from you guys that have already built Guillemot 18s or similar?
