Hi Roger,

That would be greatly appreciated. I'll send the details off thread.

Warwick

: Warwick, the folding kayak in the post by Paul Jacobsen is a Percy Blandford
: design. The 11ft version of this is in his book, Canoes and Canoeing,
: available from some used booksellers and listed at www.bookfinder.com
: (just search on the name and title) One feature of this design is that it
: has a huge (4'7" long) cockpit. That would give you room to put your
: son in front of you for the next couple of years, without banging him in
: the head with the paddle shaft. The design dates from the '50s, so you
: have to be creative with the skin, as the material Blandford specified
: doesn't appear to be available any more.

: If you wish, I can send you a photocopy of the line drawings and bill of
: materials, and if you want to try the boat, you can get the book through
: bookfinder. Blandford specified that the reader is free to build boats
: "for his own or club use" but not for sale, without paying a
: fee. I am getting into building a 14' rigid skin on frame from the book.

: If you would like a copy of the materials I offered you, email me your snail
: mail address. My scanner is broken, so I can't scan the pages and email
: them to you.

: Roger
