: Hi Folks , I am new to kayaks and want to build a couple of doubles I want
: to be able to go with my wife and our 2 children aged 5 & 7 so what we
: need is a smallish double as the kids do little or no paddling prefering
: to drag their hands in the water.We want to go away for 4-5 day trips at
: the most . We live on the west coast of B.C. so want something fairly
: stable we both have a good deal of canoeing exp. The models we are looking
: at are Shearwater eider 18'6" x 26",Pygmy Osprey Double 20' x
: 30" ,CLC double 21' x 30" it seems that the Shearwater would be
: more manoeuverable and fast because of it's narrowness .If anyone has
: built these I'd appreciate any comments
: Thanks Bert

I would also look at the double that Roy Folland has available. I'm building it now. Very nice kit. Have not had it out in the water yet. It comes in about 21' by 28''. Nice size with very good lines. Will let you know how it does in the water.......good luck
