: I strongly recommend Tom's Roldarka or the Sea Rider. The Roldarka
: is more stable, the Sea Rider a bit roomier. Both are much more
: stable than the Sea Otter.
: She might even do well in the Sea Pup, though I have no experience
: with one of those.

I'm with Dave :) .... The Sea Pup may be the best choice at her size and weight, though it will be a
slightly tighter fit than the Sea Rider / Rolldarka. Then again, a tighter fit in this style boat is not a bad thing.

It would be easy to stretch the stems a bit for more length without changing anything else.
If Sea Pup sounds too childlike, you could always call it the Sea Wolf .... Just kidding :)

The Sea Otter offsets were dropped from the site some time ago so building one is now a mute issue.
