In Response To: Seeking: Cockpit "Fit" (Ned Smith)

: I am a very novice paddler so I can't adjust the "fit" of the
: Guillemot cockpit from experience. I will take the location of the cockpit
: from the plans but many say that the width can vary 1 or 2 inches and the
: length can also vary.
: What measurements should I take to get the cockpit to fit me?

Btw, I'm not sure that a 21" wide kayak will be a good choice for a "very novice paddler".
