Nick Schade's book "The Strip Built Sea Kayak" makes making a strip built kayak very doable. His instuctions are clear and easy to follow. If you like his Guillemot, but want one which is larger, you should consider his Guillemot Expedition Single. It has the same nice lines of the Guillemot, but at 19', it is 2' longer than the Guillemot. It also tracks much straighter. The offsets for this boat are not included in the book, but you can order plans from Guillemot Kayaks, or even order a kit. The book describes the method, so it applies to all his boats. There are also several other companies selling plans for boats that are larger, with more cargo space. Building a strip kayak takes time, but the results are worth it. John William J.
