Wolfgang Brinck's, "The Aleutian Kayak: Origins, Construction, and Use
               of the Traditional Seagoing Baidarka", available at
amazon.com, has good information on sewing the skin. The sewing technique
can be adopted for a Greenland-style kayak. Also, the baidarka list can
help you if you have specific questions.
