: Actually it is kind of a de-evolution, I'm making it more like the original.
: If you look at the drawing on page 2 of Putz's book, you may notic
: similarities to the one I am building. Mine isn't quite as narrow as that
: one, but I'm not as small as an Inuit.

Putz seemed to redesign the Walrus for recreational use. The low bow and widened beam would indicate as much. One nice thing about the Walrus its design flexibility. I’m curious how all the variations of walruses currently being built vary in performance. Time will tell when we can get them all together.

In the meantime, have a great time tomorrow :)
