I never noticed the similarities before, but if you turn the seating 
arrangement around and add a little rigging for oars, this looks a 
whole lot like my Alden.   Also a fairly plumb (yet long, narrow) bow, 
also zero storage, but longer and perhaps even marginally faster due to 
the larger 'engine' muscles employed.  Not that I surf this one 
often :).
