I was wondering if the Pt. Bennet might be a bit too large for my size--5"2", but overweight at 180. I tried one out very briefly at the CKF meeting a while ago--but I am not sure if I would even know if the "boat fits me"
How big a deal would it be to down size it a bit for my size. Sports equipment that does not fit is a real problem for us little fat people.
