In Response To: Re: Strip: Resizing the Great Auk (Daniel Thaler)

I am considering a 14' Auk build and have a couple of questions:
1. Is this a good design for a first strip build? I have completed 3 S&G kayaks and am building a 4th now. I will buy the kit.
2. Any comments on how the boat handles? We are looking for a relatively quick and maneuverable boat for day trips in the tight creeks and springs of central Florida. Both my wife and I are small people.
3. Any other thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!
