yup !

they don't sell plans for their top of the line kayaks.

we all build form kits.

I don't know of another source for their plans.

I built a coho.
I like it's composition of primary & secondary stability.
easy to lean - but still wont capsize.
It's a high volume boat, don't build it if you don't need the volume.

about the turns, anybody will tell you his kayak is wonderful
& turns on a dime.

well, I only have the coho so I can't compare, I guess it turns
ok when I compare it to the rented plastics I tried.

I know nothing about the clc's - I don't have any of them.
