I built the Guillemot for my 11 year old daughter as a 14.5 footer by putting the forms closer together. It came out very well. Looks great and paddles very well. Several experienced adult paddlers have been in it and like the way it handles. It will not track as well as a 17 footer, but it does alright.
I would not recommend making it wider. For a kid that is not necessary.
If you would like to see a picture of it, send me you email address and I will forward it to you.
