: Tom .. I'd like to hear more about your folding boats.

: Back about 1960 I wanted a kayak and would get the Klepper and Folboat
: catalogs, but never could afford any boat. 13 months ago I kayaked for the
: first time while visiting a friend in Mobile. That latent dream of owning
: a kayak resurfaced as I watched river otters play in a cypress swamp. I
: came back and bought, based on what I knew in 1960. It turns out that we
: live very close to a store called Klepper West (near Sacramento)owned by a
: german gentleman who has been in the business for many years. The Aerius
: II bought from him was our Christmas present.

: Then I began taking lessons in the Pacific and quickly found myself wanting
: something different. We got on the kit idea and in July a friend, my wife,
: and I started building three CLC's. I launched 68 days later. My friend
: will launch this afternoon, and we launched my wife's boat three weeks
: ago.

: Having said that I'd like to hear more about your boat, because I was very
: drawn to Feathercraft once I saw them, but of course they are very
: expensive. I already spent nearly 4 grand on the Klepper.

: It seems like the hull and deck would be most difficult and expensive to
: make.

: Tell me about assembly of your boat.

: The weight of our Klepper (75 pounds) is problematic. Tell us about transport
: of your boats.

: thank you in advance.
