I built two of there North Bay kits, and found them to be well thought out. I suggest if you’re that close to CLC, go and pay them a visit. They have a showroom for you to see their boats. They would probably help you make a better decision as to what kayak would be best suited for you.

I saw this notice about a kit special on there web site that also may be of interest to you.

Buy a kayak kit between May 1st and June 2nd and we'll throw in our two most popular instructional videos: The Zen of Wooden Kayak Building---which takes you through construction from start to finish---but also Performance Sea Kayaking: The Basics and Beyond. A $60 Value!
