one, though, you can access a two-part article entitled "BUILDING<> THE
ONE-HOLE ALEUT BIDARKA" written by David Zimmerly at
http://www.arctickayaks.com/Bibliography/biblioT-Z.htm#z
<http://www.arctickayaks.com/Bibliography/biblioT-Z.htm#z > Scroll down to
1983. Each page is a separate .pdf file. It isn't as detailed or
comprehensive as Brinck's book, but you could build from it and a .pdf of the
lines from Zimmerly's site
http://www.arctickayaks.com/Lines/LinesAleutLM2-14886-18.pdf
ckayaks.com/Lines/LinesAleutLM2-14886-18.pdf> (The article has the lines, but
they are illegible). Zimmerly also sells plans, which I suspect are reproduced
in his article.
what both Brinck's book and Zimmerly's article cover, and getting thoroughly

Plans and the lines

terribly intimidated by the skinnier boats, down to about 20" beam, and a
length somewhere in the range of 18' to 20'. I would like to build a boat
that is a fairly fast design, as I might consider entering some local
races.
