Hey, Mike, now that you mentioned it where do you suggest we get a copy? Brinck's book is out of print last time I looked. Then there is cost.On the web copies were being offered for $100-$200. For building a baidarka it is THE book but I can build an SOF for about what that book would cost.

: I'd have to agree with everything that the others have said. One book that I
: haven't seen mentioned is Wolfgang Brink's "The Aleutian Kayak."
: If I were going to build a SOF I think I'd keep that on my workbench. The
: Putz book is probably the least useful as it describes one very particular
: construction method, but it is probably the most fun to read!
