Steve,

I've designed several non-traditional SOF aluminum frame kayaks , that can
also be built with wood frames. Several are Aleut inspired, while others are
Greenland style designs. Or, I could design one to your specs. Attached is a
drawing of one I'm currently building.

Another source of designs is George Dyson. Again they are aluminum
non-traditional designs, but I've built a couple of his fine boats
as wood frame also.

If you're interested , I'll get you info on them.
