Default East Arctic Kayak - Ply or Stripper Version?

After a lot of Googling for kayak plans I have finally stumbled upon a
design that I like simply for the look of it, the East Arctic Kayak,
characterized by a flat bottom, prominently pointed upswept bow, and a
large displacement. Web sites that I've found show how to build these
boats in the skin-on-frame style but none seem to provide hard data for
strip or plywood versions of these. Do any of you know where I can find
drawings or measurements that can be applied to such modern construction
methods? Failing that, how does one go about making a decent ply/strip
version from a traditional skin on frame design?

Thanks,

J.
