I am now looking at building a strip built Petrel under the guidance of a neighbor who is a skilled craftsman/carpenter/woodworker. It looks like a good bet for my weight and it's 17 feet! Perhaps it's not impossible for someone my size to build a 17 footer from a kit.

: That does look wonderful and taught by folks with great reputations. A 12-day
: class, though, is a bit more time than I can spare.

: Appreciate all the help and suggestions as I choose what Kayak to build and
: find the best way to learn to build it.
