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.
