Curlew - book vs plans and size

Recommended Posts

I'm preparing to build my first SOF kayak and discovered the Kudzu forms, and purchased the book and am starting a Curlew build.  

 

Regarding Fit/Size

Using the book, I drew up my frames and the coaming and was a little concerned about "fit" for me and my wife.

I'm 5-9 - 36" waist.  Will I fit?  My wife has similar dimensions, but we are in our late '50s and I fear our fannies may spread over the next few years.

Should we expect to fit okay?   Our only kayak experience is with Perception brand kayaks, so I want to get some input on what to expect.   (Should I build a mess-about?)

 

Regarding Plans versus Book

I read on the kudzu website that the plans for some boats have been modified with "Comfort Frames" design.  

Have the purchasable  Curlew plans been updated with the "Comfort Frame" design?

 

Thanks!
