The Oxford Wherry looks like the Wayland boats in that it has higher sheer than the CLC ones but looks like them -- it would be an interesting to...
Oh --and one more -- the Angus Rowboats Expedition model -- or one of their others. They do plans, and they are built of plywood.
If you've fished from a kayak, then pretty much all of these will be at least as high or higher. In the U.S. "open water" is a vague term that...
I'd say the CLC Expedition Wherry is a little too low and small for what you are describing. The CLC wherries tend to have low freeboard and are...

Moving the riggers is unfortunately not possible without building new supports -- so that has to wait until the off-season. To split the...

Great link, Flo-Mo! The guy around the 3:46 mark in the video won the sliding seat racing category. He's in a Van Dusen Mohican kayak modified...
There are a lot of interesting papers at biorow. You have to hunt around but this one may help:...
Wow, great drawing Flo-Mo! What is the effect of a higher or lower CP? The Firefly Double I have is stretched, in my case, to 23 feet 4"...
NoEyeDeer- I see the "faster" sentence is unclear -- I meant faster than the Firefly currently goes, not faster than the Savo. I just finished...
Yes the Savo is speedy. Interestingly, the waterline beam on the Savo 650 Double is about an inch more than the Firefly's, and the waterline...
I'm impressed by Ben's speedy craft. He avoided issues inherent in this design which I only belatedly tried to modify. I row in a marina, in...
