: I was not refering to a generic boat for anyone and everyone,but a specific
: designed boat to an individual person's weight displacement, height above
: waistline,width of shoulders and hips, leg length, etc. . From this general formula, considertions could be taken
: for casual paddling, racing, fishing, ect., by expounding off of the basic
: body measurment to allow for the specific use intended.

Assuming you could arrive at a "general formula" - you use the word in singular - that takes into account the variables you mention,...

...would you then know how to tweak the result to suit the specific uses you mention later?

I think you have two, not only one, "tall orders" on your plate here! :D
