Kirk,

I agree that Harvey Golden would be an excellent source to contact. He has
built an incredible number of replicas and generously shares his knowledge.

Regarding Maligiaq's kayak, he used several different boats during his U.S.
tour. Most folks on the East coast saw the kayak that Maligiaq built in
Texas in John Heath's workshop. This is the white nylon/hypalon kayak shown
in Heath's new "Rolling with Maligiaq" video. Maligiaq used Harvey Golden's
replica for at least one demonstration on the West Coast and for the
underwater rolling scenes in "Rolling with Maligiaq". In California
Maligiaq built another kayak in exchange for room and board and used the
boat for local demonstrations. This is probably just a partial list.
Maligiaq had quite an amazing tour, even John Heath had trouble keeping
track of his whereabouts.
