I designed this to fit me for now. About 225 lbs displacement, so it may need some modification to with a smaller paddler. I have planned on tweaking it for a smaller paddler if it proves out with me.

It is 14.5' long and 20.5" beam at the water line. Based on 225# total weight. I expect it to have great secondary stability. A little less initial but not enough to scare you like my last one does. :) But enough you can easily edge it. Of course I am still learning all the time so we will see once it is in the water. May be a total disaster!

I attached an image from the software. I made a change last night to increase the foot room. So there is a hump in the drawing that I have not corrected on the bow. I just wanted to input my change before I forgot it.I will go back latter and extend those stringers so that the bow has the proper lines. Main thing was get the station dimension right in the model.
