: Thanks for the feedback. I suspect I might find the Guillemot a touch too
: easy to turn. I wonder whether the Guillemot L with another foot of length
: and a bit more beam would be by comparison.

: The Outer Island sounds like an interesting boat but might not have enough
: room for my legs. Has anyone had any experience paddling a Redfish King or
: Return? Redfish claims that "Weathercocking is virtually nil"
: with the Return.

: Again, thanks for the responses.

I am 6', 280#, size 11 shoe and absolutely love my Redfish King! I have plenty of room. It is fast, tracks straight as an arrow, weathercocking is not an issue and it rolls effortlessly. I am very satisfied with it. And the build process was not difficult at all. I am not sure on how your size fits to the King but if you have any questions in that regard then contact Joe at Redfish...he is a great guy and will be up front with you.
