[Paddlewise] Greenland Kayak

I ordered a copy of Cunningham's book, "Building The Greenland Kayak" and it 
finally arrived. Been reading it all evening. Cunningham's construction 
methodology appears to yield an inexpensive, strong, sleek, lightweight, and 
anthropometrically-based SOF kayak -- with what for me is a very important 
consideration, namely a fairly fast build time. I can't even imagine what it 
would be like to carry and propel a lightweight kayak.

Life is short - even shorter as we get older. This book might be the 
encouragement I need to actually build an SOF. Learning new rolls in a SOF 
rolling machine could be a lot of fun.

A replica Greenland SOF kayak might just turn my world upside down.

Not sure if there is another book worth the investment that I should be 
considering. My library doesn't have anything much.
