Dear Nick,
during my holidays in 2003 I visited the Wooden Boat Festival in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada and fell in love with some wooden sea-kayaks that were exhibited there. The builders of the kayaks had your book "Strip-built sea-kayaks" with them and my first deed when I arrived at home again was to order your book and the plan for the NIGHT HERON. These days I'm about to finish my first Night Heron, just the seat and the gloss are still missing. I think I did some good job as you can see in the picture.
My next project will be a LITTLE AUK for my wife.
I had much fun in building the kayak and I would love to build some more of that kind and maybe sell some of them if I can manage to find interested people. Therefore I now ask you, whether you do allow me to build your kayaks in licence for Germany (or Europe ?) and to sell them.
If you are interested in this idea, please get in contact with me and make me a purpose about how to handle that and how much it would cost.
In hope for an answer
best regards
Günter Stühler
