In Response To: Seeking: recommendations on what to build (John Ramage)

I highly recommend Eric Schade's baidarka..You are the same height I am, maybe a little heavier...but unfortunately not that much...

Anyway the boat is stable, handles very well in the ocean...doesn't turn too well, but then nothing is perfect. You can build it either as a hybrid or straight stich and glue. Eric has both plans and kits for you. I think that the 17W would be a fine S&G for you. Call him and talk, he is very easy to deal with.
