Hi Gordon.
I have built a Guillemot L (or maybe a VL). By a little mistake I stretched it to 19'. I have size 12 feet and have no problems. Size 14?? I'm not sure...
The Guillemot L is very stable and roamy. At the picture below the weight of kayak with a lot of extra clothes, paddle, a folding kayak chart, fishing equipment, water bottle, coffe thermos, camera, food and myselves is 313 pound. The waterline is 1 strip over water surface. I like it very well.
You can see some pics from my trips at

Hope this helps.
Best regards
Tom
