Hello Laurence,
Following our recent phone discussion, I have posted here, my return email reply message to you so that other interested members can have a look at the links.

Here are some links that you might be able to gleen some ideas from. The first one in particular, looks like it would be a much better alternative than a sea island spirit. Personally , I prefer an open cockpit as in the second and third link. Way more comfortable.

A bay worthy SOT. Easy enough to modify a Ch17 http://www.surfski.info/content/view/655/147/
simple sot cockpit http://www.surfski.info/content/view/650/147/
I've raced against this one at Raby Bay. Looks great and is fast http://www.surfski.info/content/view/978/147/
Interesting footpedal design http://www.surfski.info/content/view/941/155/

Cheers, Craig
