Skin-on-Frame: Please Comment on this Kayak *Pic*

A friend of mine sent me this drawing of a kayak he has been working on in CAD. He intends to build it in traditional skin-on-frame. The inspiration for the design came from a number of the drawings in Harvery Golden's book, "Kayaks of Greenland".

So a question to all the experienced kayak designers out there: how will this thing perform? Tell us what you really think. Be honest and don't be afraid of hurting his feelings!
