Alaskan Recovery Kayak

I am doing research on building a skin on frame kayak. I have read Wolfgang Brinck's book on the aleutian kayak. Great book, but I am looking to built a smaller kayak for rivers and small lake paddling. I have read the article on the alaskan recovery kayak in Sea Kayaker magazine. Does anyone have any additional building tips or performance information on this design? Also if there are other short designs out ther I am interested in finding out more information so I can make a good choice for my first building project! thank you for your time! Kurt
