Are you building this 12ft kayak for an adult or as a kayak for a small child?

If it is for a small child, then something like the Redfish "Parr" is a good design.

If it is for an adult, then it will be difficult to build for the reason Bill mentioned and it will be very inefficient to paddle. Its lack of length will make it slow and its width will make it uncomfortable to paddle.
