: The Chessy 18 is big enough for a small family. ;-)

: Seriously, it's a VERY big boat with an equally huge carrying
: capacity. While you're tall, your low weight for your height
: would result in the boat riding very high and you'll be rattling
: around in it like a marble in a tin can. One of the smaller
: boats in the CLC line would probably be a much better choice.

Thanks for the advice ! I'll probably build it when I'll be older and grow a belly :)) I'll try to find someone in my area who has built one of the s&g clc crafts .
