: I'm wondering Bill, do you realize who Harvey is? He is the author of Kayaks
: of Greenland, http://www.traditionalkayaks.com/KOG.html and has surveyed
: many SOF kayaks as well as reconstructing quite a few.

: The frames on many Greenland boats are quite strong, often more heavily built
: than the typical recreational SOF is today. While the skin will shrink,
: the wood has minimal shrinkage and unless the frame is bent or broken, its
: size and shape will be very close to the original. While many surveyed
: kayaks have damaged frames, some do not. Harvey can probably tell you how
: many qajaqs with intact frames he has surveyed.

Hi Ralph,

So...I've effectively stuck my foot in my mouth again huh? Gonna get some strange disease at this rate.

Oops :)
