Here is the plan view, from Shearwater's site. I'm sure Eric won't mind as long as I say "I love Shearwater's designs."

The reason I think your pic is of this boat is the high bow and stern, with a West Greenland style, and a fairly low deck. I could, of course be wrong. Of course this shows the stitch-n-glue hull and the stripped hull, like yours appears to be, would be more rounded than this.
