: Brian,
: The June issue of Sea Kayaker has plans for a kid sized east greenland kayak
: that looks great and would be fun and interesting to build.
: Ray

given that its a design by the same guy that did the alaskan recovery, its very disappointing(to me) in that it seems tremendously over built,narrow and v'd for its application. i wish he'd adopted something like bill prices approach, a flatter bottom, wider section and detachable skin (say web belts)sidefloats say just behind the cockpit.
