Doug,
I would look at the Yosts boats. I know they are SOF but honestly I just
cannot think of an easier boat. I remember seeing someone who had used a
spare tarp as a skin on their kid's boats. Check out the Sea Flea and Sea
Pup. Perhaps you can email Tom and see how to convert the lines to S&G.

Does anyone know or have experience with quick-build stitch and glue kayak 
plans for a small kayak suitable for older children. I see kid's kayak 
plans, but wanted something for my girls that would do for ages 12 through 
16. My daughter's reminded me today I promised to build them their own 
kayaks after we outgrew the canoe last summer. SOF's probably wouldn't have 
the abrasion resistance for daughters of mine.
