: I have done S&G Wherry. So now I feel comfortable with stitching, glassing
: and finishing.

: What I would ultimately want is 2 Pygmy Coho's or 2 Pygmy Arctic Terns.

: At a minimum I would want a 17'+ lightweight sea kayak with strong tracking
: (no rudder) that I can afford ( $1000 max but if it cost 1/2 of that it
: would be great). Skin on Frame is not out of question either.

Pick up Robert Morris' book and give it a read. You may find his style to your liking. And as for cost, it probably can't be beat!!
