: I've got the bug to build another wood boat. The last one was a One
: Ocean Kayak's Cirrus hybrid that I use as a tripping boat. It
: works GREAT, but is far too big for for me on simple day
: paddles. My fleet also includes a variety of SOF's.

: I'm looking for a strip design about 16- 16 1/2' long, around
: 20" wide, to use for day trips and playing in waves. In
: gear, I weigh about 160 lbs. Others consider me an advanced
: paddler. I have a variety of rolls and am happy in 5-6' waves.

: About all I've found in my search so far is the One Ocean Kayak's
: Storm LT. What else am I missing?

: Thanks!

I really like the look of Blue Heron's Whiptail

That would be what I would build if I was going to do a strip boat. It's just really pleasing to the eye to me.
