I haven't seen enough about skin kayaks here lately so I thought I would post three very useful skin kayak links. In no particular order we have:
Traditional Arctic Skinboats by Harvey Golden. Incredible site by someone who builds LOTS of kayaks, and who takes just as many pictures of very rare and exotic boats. Even if you are not into skin boats, check this site out!!! Scroll down on his site and check out the Alaska, Canadian, and Greenland kayaks.

Next, Arctic Kayaks by David W. Zimmerly. Once, an arctic anthropologist with the National Museums of Canada he has taken the lines of many kayaks, and has pdf files of drawings and offset tables. Plans are available through the Canadian Museum of Civilization. PDF files are on this page:

Finally, just found The Unofficial Guide to the Greenland Kayak Association. Looks like some nice pics, articles and links especially on rolling.

Just wanted to share my favorite sites.
