The Guillemot "L" is an enlarged version of the Guillemot. It is intended for larger paddlers who need additional room for their legs and feet. All dimensions have been increased by approximately 6%. In addition, Nick has added to the height of the deck to give more foot room. The volume has been redistributed somewhat. This provides additional foot room and also will provide slightly stiffer tracking. The cockpit is bigger than the standard Guillemot and like all Nick's designs you can easily adjust the size of the cockpit to fit your needs.

This design differs from the Expedition Single, being wider and shorter. This boat has more foot room and slightly more weight carrying capacity. It also has the simplified shape of the Guillemot so it will be easier to build than the Expedition Single. If this boat does not appear to have the capacity you think you need, take a look at the High Capacity Great Auk.
