Ouchh...um..sorry to hear that.
You can have your cake and eat it too (if your gastroentologist Robbie
approves).
Build a genuine Baffin Island or Labrador kayak. There are several in INUIT
KAYAKS IN CANADA by (you guessed it) Eugene Arima, that have a beam of
26-28 inches. There are probably a couple in Adney and Chapelle too, but I
dont have that in front of me or in back of me for that matter.
AND-as far as I know nobody on this list has built one of these, although
someone was asking about them a while back. You can be the first and tell
us all about it. They look like great fishing kayaks.
