Thanks guys for all the replies it has been a great help I can focus on starting building
I do not plan on using this kayak for camping so I plan on trying the suggestions for the 15 ft Sea Tour EXP.
Where I am in the U.K. it can be a little tricky to access water for public use and I would like to keep the length as short as possible for storage reasons also.
John you are right I am already planning a second kayak a folding kayak for holidays in Europe !! and then maybe a stitch and glue!!
Darren thanks for the offer for help how do I get your email ?
Tom great web site do you have plans available and are there contact details on your site?
