: I've built one and you can find it here:

: As for building it to your body, the answer is, yes you should.
: Pretty much. Remember that in building it to your body you are
: talking about beam, length, and spacing of ribs and frames. As
: for beam, build it according to what you are comfortable with.
: Width=stability. As for length, forget about that because this
: is not a "3 arm lengths + 16in." boat. The deck beams
: are for your back, feet, and the masik, so do those. The rib
: spacing are for your but and heels so do those.

Nice implementation of Morris's boat there, Paul.

Matt, you'll find Morris's book has a lot of information, the early chapters deal with the design and build detail and the later ones have sample designs including Paul's retrieval kayak, with pull-out drawings. Morris's frames look a little on the heavy side to me but I haven't built one so it's hard to judge. He doesn't provide offsets but the drawings are good quality and I suppose they could be scaled up full size at a copy shop, which is what I did with the plank developments for the next (ply) boat I want to build.
