Hi Dick,
I believe Rudi is originally from the Netherlands, but now lives in Germany.
I don't think he's on the internet ( - he's quite old, though fit as a
fiddle - ) and to my eternal shame I've lost his snailmail address. I
guess, though, that Gerald Maroske will know it - Gerald?
Regarding materials, you might want to contact Alf Helland in Norway, who
has made a lot of SOF boats with linen skins.
Alf Helland
E-mail Address(es):
alfhelland@c2i.net
Alf has tried various skin materials, but keeps coming back to linen.
Cheers,
Bill Samson
PS - Where are you located in the Netherlands? I usually visit every year
or so, with friends in Etten-Leur in North Brabant.
