I saw them at the Vancouver Wooden Boat show. Some where in my house is a couple of brochures. ( some where? )

Here is a small piece by Alex Christie who was also at the Vancouver Wooden boat show:

One very ancient technology which really caught my eye was the display by Brewery Creek Small Boat Shop; their cloth-on-frame baidarkas and Greenland kayaks were a fine example of a boatbuilding techniques many thousands of years old. Their concessions to modernity were the use of materials such as nylon for the skin of the vessel, plus polyurethane coatings to seal the skin, but no metal was used in the structure. The frames were of wood (yellow cedar), but lashed together with polypropelene string instead of strips of animal gut. The unusual craft looked and felt fabulous, and were very light to pick up. Standing there looking at these boats, my mind drifted off to a fantasy wherein I was paddling among the Flat Top Islands, myself and my baidarka a unified whole, moving gracefully over restless waters, as free as a bird or a seal, in perfect harmony with my surroundings. Yes, I want to build one! This is stuff that dreams are made of...
