Peter,
I don't know anything about these guys - but there is a small company that sells kits and plans located in the bay area called San Javier Kayaks. They have a design called the 'Single' that you might want to consider - you almost certainly could test paddle it by contacting these guys. If you decide to stop by San Javier - let us know your impressions. This is their URL: http://www.ccnet.com/~sjkayak/single.html
