None of these boats are really designed for the beginning kayaker, are pretty skinny, and likely arn't ones the new builder would pick either. Any experienced builder only really needs the shapes to build a boat anyway.

Btw, looking at the profile of the BP, it looks like it really wouldn't be all that tricky to raise the foredeck a little to gain some extra space for your knees for a bit more comfort. I've done it on other designs and once complete it's very difficult to tell it's been done as long as you don't get carried away with the difference. An inch or slightly more can make a huge difference in how easy an ocean cockpit is to enter and to live with once inside. (assuming the aft deck is left alone)
