Strip: Info about the Panache

Hello all,
I recently cut and prepare more than 1300' of white cedar strips. I must now choose what kayak I'm going to built. And the choice is not easy to make...
Not easy at all!

I saw on the WEB the PANACHE from Laughing Loon. She looks interesting. The laughin Loon Website does not give that much technical specs, unfortunately.

I'm wondering how the Panache behaves in the wind, the waves and so on. I'm 6'-3" 235lbs. I'm not a beginner in kayaking but not that good either. I'd like to find a kayak responding to my size and my skill.

So, I'm using this forum to request any information from Panache owners or even kayakers who have paddle her.

Thanks
