: Well I've got my cypress cut now, I hope enough for two kayaks. I wonder what
: kayak I should build for my 10 year old boy? I thought maybe the little
: Auk but I read it might be a little wide for short arms. Also I thought I
: would build the Great Auk for myself. I am heavy 230 pounds, and
: short(5'7") bad combo I know. Will the Great Auk have enough beaf to
: hold me up and out of the water? :) Thanks Chris
: I've never been in a kayak before but I have paddled a canoe alot. So I want
: something fairly stable.

If you want to build a stitch and glue kayak, how about the Squeedunk Grebe? I'm almost finished with a Cormorant. The Grebe is a scaled down version. The Cormorant panels were easy to assemble. I'm sure the Grebe will go together just as easily.
