Liz,
Do a search using kayak and retrieval as keywords and select the all option. This will bring up a picture of someone working on the Morris design. I did the search but for some reason I could not paste the link so it would work. Good luck.

: Has anyone had any experience with making a retrieval kayak, using the David
: Zimmerly plans from the Museum of Civilization, Ottawa, and some of the
: details from Robert Morris's book? I finished my second Greenland SOF but
: I misjudged the masik height and can barely get my creaky robust body in
: or out of the boat even with a struggle However, the Greenland boat
: tracks like a dream, with no weathercocking or other problems that I had
: with my first SOF so I got something right. Well, live and learn, and
: somebody will get a nice boat. Good excuse to make another
: Now I fancy building a small, fat SOF kayak of a decent volume to allow me to
: use a camera or binoculars. Stable generally, but hopefully OK in sudden
: winds and moderately iffy weather conditions. The retrieval plans call for
: a length of 9.5 to ten feet, and a width of 23.5 to 25 inches. I like the
: sharper ends of the traditional retrieval rather than the wide Morris
: "recovery" boat and would want to keep these. What would I have
: to consider if I stretched the boat to 11 feet? Is it just a matter of
: adding the length in the middle and working out the new spacing for
: deckbeams, etc. or is there something else I should think about? Any
: suggestions would be appreciated.
