That is a really big kayak for an 8th grader.
I built a Yost kayak - 17' and 22" and it fit a 5'7" 170# paddler, easily.

How big is your daughter?

There is a design for an adjustable foot rest in Nicks first strip plank book.
If you are interested I've simplified the adjustment "rib".

The Petrel is shown as 17' already. Why do you need to change sections? It is specified as good for 200#.
What am I missing - the Petrel is strip planked - why can't you just take the same sections in the current drawings?
Are you planning on a "fuselage" design?

Confused.
