Greenland kayak hull design

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.

Thanks!

Hi John,

Here's a link to the boat I built 5 years ago in a class with the aforementioned Brian Schulz. 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.

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.
