In Response To: Other: kayak length (Kurt Loup)

there really isn't a correlation between short/long and seaworthy. Short and long do different things along with other characteristics of hull shape, "sea worthy" is more of a skills issue. Mariner makes an excellent 13' rough water kayak called a Coaster, Wilderness Systems has a 14 ft. kayak called Tchaika. The Coaster can carry about 75lbs more. What are the characteristics you are looking for?
