: I don't know the Shearwater at all, but based on your desired
: characteristics, I would suggest looking at the One Oceans Kayak
: "Storm" or even the "Storm LT", depending on
: your weight and intended use. The "Expedition Sport"
: model looks interesting also. I have considered building the
: Storm for a fast day tripper. I have a Cape Ann for longer
: tripping.

I built a Storm LT for my girl; she can make it fly! I can paddle it, but I'm about 20# over it's 'ideal' weight; the handling difference is obvious. But I - and my old, also 'too heavy' friends, all prefer it over my Chesapeake LT 17, for what that's worth.
