I'm looking for a plan for a strip boat. A boat for someone 220 pounds and 5' 10 "and have a high center of gravity, long torso, short legs. Most Greenland style kayaks are made for smaller people it seems. Can someone direct me to a plan I could purchase for a large person Greenland style, strip built boat?
Current Designs is coming out with a super-sized Greenland boat this year in composite fiberglass. I sat in one a few months ago at their factory in Winona, Minn. and it fit me very well. I was planning on buying one this spring, but found I need shoulder surgery again and I won't be paddling till October. Just what I wanted to hear! Not knowing what the heck I was going to do this summer, I stumbled across wood boat building on paddling.net a few days ago. WOW, I'm a retired furniture builder with a well equiped wood shop at home. If I can't paddle this summer, I'll build another boat, and the more I research about strip built kayaks the more it is peaking my interest. Can someone help me find a plan. I live close to Lake Superior and kayak camp the Apostle Islands quite a bit, so it needs to behave in rough waters.
Thanks to any replies,
Paul
