Plans for essentially the same boat were published in Chris Kulczycki'a book "The New Kayak Shop". It's calle "Severn" and is 14.5 ft x 26"
Tortured ply is kind of offputting because the technique is not entirely intuative and the bending requires top quality 3mm okoume to survive the torturing. But it will give you the lightest hardshell boat of it's size.
There is a 16 foot version called "Yare" that is that is even shallower and tighter than "Severn".
