Hans,

That is one of my favorite designs. It is from Skene's drawing. It is the one that the Putz Walrus is modeled after. I would like to go back to the original dimensions. Did the Carlson designs Hull program give you a good set of offsets? The Putz design and the one Skene built have less deadrise and rocker, have a lower bow, and are 2-3/4" wider. I am considering using the Putz/Skene method with the original dimensions for my next 'yak. The Putz/Skene dimensions make a nice kayak but I want to try something closer to the original. It is supposed to be one of the best kayaks from Greenland.
