Thanks Nick for the link. Great documentary.

The hull shape and beam reminded me of the Great Auk.

Amazing the amount of chewing and teethwork that goes into making a kayak. Maybe I need to use my teeth more.

Will this documentary change the design of coamings?

"A coaming should come right up under your armpits, and be as wide as your hips plus two six packs--sideways..."
