Skin-on-Frame: Hopeful F1 Builder

Hello,
New to the forum. I have built a few small craft, Bolger Nymph, stitch and goo Greenland kayak, Yost Sea Rover and most recently a strip built paddle board.
I would like to attempt a traditionally built SOF F1 from Cape Falcon Kayaks this winter. I would take the course but i am at least two years away from having the time. I have downloaded the lines but the picture showing the exploded view is not clear and i cannot glean any info from it (at least not clear to my eyes!) . Is there a higher resolution image posted anywhere? I am going to start pulling the offsets from the line drawing this weekend but have only have a rough idea about deck beam spacing. I am going to be using Robert Morris's book as a general construction guide. Any thoughts appreciated!
Allan
