I'd suggest you
: look at some of the other designs than the Cape Charles as there are
: better handling kayaks for wind and waves.

I bought Pygmy Cohos at $1400 each awhile back. Found one on the BASK bulletin board (Bay Area Sea Kayaking), the other on eBay, of all places. Wonderful boats. Check pygmyboats.com for other designs in the family. A lot of people on this board seem to like the Tern, which appears to my amateur eye to be similar to the Ches 17 (successor to the Cape Charles, known as a wet boat), but more sophisticated in its lines.
