Narrow S&G Kayak

[John R]

Doea anyone know of a kit for a narrow High performance Greenland style kayak. I like the Pygmy boats, but with long water lines and 23" beams, I feel that a light person (150 lbs and less) will bob like a cork. I tried an Artic Hawk narrow Greenland boat and loved it. I like Seguin, but I would like a kit.

Chesapeake Light Craft, http://www.clcboats.com/ has several that fit the bill. There are 19.5' and 17.5' versions of the Pautexent, both 21" beam. Both are sized for a 150 lb paddler.

The North Bay 18 is a west greenland style kayak that is 20" wide. It is recommended for experienced paddlers.

Good Luck.
