Subject: [baidarka] Greenland gunwale angle

I am planning to build a Greenland kayak this winter, and am trying to decide whether to use Bob Boucher's video or Chris Cunningham's article for basic instructions.
Bob Boucher's video sets the angle of the gunwales at 28 degrees, Chris Cunningham's article and Rob Morris's book use 17 degrees. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two? Are both traditionally used in Greenland? Does the gunwale using Bob Boucher's method sit parallel to the skin or does it form a gap along the lower insde edge?
Thanks, Richard
