• The Iggy - Igdlorssuit kayak: The Anas Acuta’s lines were originally developed from a kayak built by Emanuele Korneiliussen in Igdlorssuit for Kenneth Taylor in 1959. This kayak was measured and drawn by Duncan Winning in 1964. This is the original kayak that spawned the British-style kayak. It's a fun kayak for a paddler in the lower to mid-100 pounds range.

• Fram Museum 1888 West Greenland Kayak Plans: The kayak is Fram number 176. Native Greenlanders built the kayak in 1888 for one of arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen’s colleagues after Nansen’s successful crossing of the Greenland icecap.
