JohnHuth Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm trying to find drawings of the hull shape (cross section, top, side views) of a traditional (i.e. one made by Inuit) Greenland kayak. Does anyone have a set of drawings or a URL that points to one? Thanks! John H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEL Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 I'm trying to find drawings of the hull shape (cross section, top, side views) of a traditional (i.e. one made by Inuit) Greenland kayak. Here are a few from Brian Shulz's website. I could provide copies of similar drawings if these are not useable. http://www.capefalconkayak.com/1931disko.html http://capefalconkayak.com/1935sisimuit.html http://www.capefalconkayak.com/oslo.html http://www.capefalconkayak.com/sisimuitframephotos.html Ed Lawson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the kayak has gone to a good home in Maine, it's a pretty boat and fun to paddle. I have the plans framed and hanging on a wall in our kitchen but could possibly get them to you if you wanted them. The design is similar to one of the one's Ed mentioned, which might be more helpful. Deb M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spbrown Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 John, The work that Brian does (and his web) with greenland kayaks is amazing, I also build one a couple of years back in a class with Brian. I do not use it much, preferring my strip build greenland style kayak. You are welcome to try it out if you like, located in Nashua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
