Hi folks,
Want to built a kayak kit. I am 6', 230lbs, foot 11.5 and would like
to know what boat will best fit my size.
Here are the boats I am interested in :
Pygmy: Osprey standard, Artic Tern 17, Queen Charlotte 17.
CLC : Chesapeake 17
Shearwater : Merganser 17
Water Dancing : Anuri, Lightning 17
The Tern, Chessie and Merganser should all fit you, but depending on
your leg length and preferred seating position, footroom in the
Merganser may be tight.
The Osprey standard has a bit more volume than the Arctic Tern so that would
work as well. The Pygmy site indicates that the Queen Charlotte standard is
for paddlers up to 6'2"/220 lbs. The also make an XL version though. It's
huge.
