I choose the Cape Ann Double for my wife and I because it had more foot room than the Guillemot. I have size 12 feet and am the same size as you. My wife is tiny too, and likes the space up front. I can't say how it handles yet, I just need to varnish it and rig up the deck lines. But I have sat in it, imanging how it will paddle. I'll let you know in 2 weeks when I launch. I'm sure that Nick's double handles great too. I've built his Great Auk and have the Exp. Guillemot on the forms and ready to strip. Good luck whatever you choose.
