I'm getting along in building my Merganser Hybrid and my wife is starting to think about the next one (her's).
She's most interested in poking around on the edges of waterways, looking at and photographing plants and
animals. But(!) she wants to be able to move along, if necessary, to keep up with me and go out on Maine
coastal waters (in calm conditions) at times. Her "specifications" are that the kayak be stable (she thought a
Looksha Sport that she tried was good !), not too long (so she can get in close to shore at times), manuverable,
able to take a spray skirt, and sized right for her (175 lbs., 5' 6", feet women's10.5).

My building preferences are somewhat toward stitch-and-glue rather than all-strip (simply to get both done by
Spring) but that's not cast in concrete.

Any help in picking some designs?
