Bob,

I agree with the above recommendation for the kids.
However I built a Yost Sea Tour EXP for myself and could not reasonably get in the cockpit. I'm 5'8" and 240#. If I were to do it again (starting next week) I'll increase the size of the cockpit and raise the front cockpit frame height at least an inch along the centerline. I do like building the Yost boats. Except for my stitching.

Have fun, let us know how you do, I want to build a kid sized boat also.

G: Thanks, Dave Gentry also recommended a Yost boat. It seemed too
: small but your reply is helping me to understand.

: Actually I'm thinking two solo boats. This as much about a dad
: daughters first teaching workshop project. I have a stripper
: Prospector for team paddling.

: The above plans include an option for a 16'9" boat of the same
: dimensions. I'm big, 6' 2" 240#s, maybe someday the plans
: will work for me.
