In Response To: S&G: Decked canoe/small kayak (Thomas)

: I am looking for a small decked canoe or kayak that can handle two adults, be
: transported on an Escort and be very stable. I liked the idea of a kayak,
: with its low sides and decking. I like the roominess of a canoe, but I
: don't like the high sides in wind. I was looking at the CLC Mill Creek or
: the Wee Lassie II. Can I just deck a Wee Lassie II? For that matter, can I
: take a kayak plan and open up the cockpit for two people? Any ideas,
: suggestions or websites would be great.

It is logical to think that the Wee Lassie II should be a two person version of the Wee Lassie. It is not. It is just a larger version suitable for larger paddlers. While you could deck it over, it wouldn't be appropriate for two people.
