I really like the different designs that you have to offer especially the Curlew and the Vardo but I cannot find anywhere on the website the paddler weight range that the kayaks were designed for. I think that might make it easier for people to decide.
I currently have a Necky Chatham 17, which is 17 ft x 21 inches and me at 220 lbs is fine but I wanted to make sure with the Curlew.
Thanks for any help.

Your right, that should be there and I have been meaning to go back and add that info. I keep thinking of it when I am busy with something else.
I use a total displacement (boat, paddler and gear) of 250 lbs when I design the boats. That figure is used to calculate stability factor and resistance. I weight around 200 lbs so you will have no problem in any of the boats.
