In Response To: Strip: Short and narrow design (Robert Shapiro)

: Until recently, the only short kayaks I've seen have been pretty
: wide. Then I saw the Walrus Kayaks "Griffin" which is
: 14' by 21.75". Having built an Outer Island (18'), a SOF
: (17'),a S&G (16') and a S&G (13' x 25.5") I am intrigued by
: the idea of building a not-tubby but short kayak. Comments? I
: don't know of any designs out there.

The miniBenny sea kayak by Duane Strosaker is only 11.75 ft long and 21.5in wide. It can be seen at www.rollordrown.com. Scroll down to see the available plans.
