Thanks Ian,

Hi,
Looking sweet!
Can we have a few detail photos please!

....The frames are of 9mm WBP ply, rather than marine ply, which is difficult to source around here...
I don't think you need to worry...

Hi Greg,

Micro:
I admit I did originally not like Bolger designs (too boxy, and also the leeboards). But I think you can consider them as an acquired taste. They look so unconventional that they...

Hi Greg,

This is really funny. I just wanted to send you mail to find out what the nice looking boat in you avatar was, when I came across this.

I guess I know now....:B

It's a bit weird to quote myself, but I just found another one, and this guy is "Live" so-to-speak.

The website is not very informative and I could not figure out whether he...

Hi,
I had seen the "flat", but I thought it was a typo:no:.

Hi,

I am so glad that Greg and I are not just having a private conversation here....

I assume you don't have a better picture, pity.
I am fairly certain the first word on the boat deck is...

Hi,

There is not much to find on the Pionier-Faltboot-Werft, at least not on the Internet.
The two most informative sites I have found are the one we have come across already.

Here you can see...

Hi,

You need to take better pictures, mate!:no:

Seriously; yes it is an invitation for a talk given by O Speck, but I can't make out where (I am not even sure, if the location is spelled out...

Hi Greg,

Great, thanks a lot.
Pity there wasn't the actual kayak he arrived in.

But considering the circumstances (WW-II, internment, and the long time span), it is actually amazing that so...

Hi all,

A bit further up we were talking about the kayak-trip of Oskar Speck from Ulm in Germany to Australia; a seven-year voyage from 1932 to 1939.

Greg (Pindimar) has promised to post some...

Hi Greg,

1. Pics:
Glad it worked (by the way, you can do all basic manipulations of pictures also in "Preview", which is part of the standard Mac package).

2. "Can you identify this kayak...

Hi Greg,

I am glad you liked it (the catamaran is really something else, talk about "folding kayak").

Concerning iPhoto:
I am Mac person myself, so maybe I can help.
If I got you right your...

Hi all,

Over in the Percy Blandford thread, Greg (Pindimar) and I drifted a little off-target into Klepper and other German folding kayak designs.

This brought us to Oskar Speck and...

Hi Greg,

I am glad you liked the info.
I really do not want to hijack this thread away from Percy Blandford designs, but maybe just a little bit more about folding kayaks is maybe ok,,,,

1....

Hi Greg,

It was an easy mistake to make. When I saw the first Blandford kayaks at the beginning of this thread my immediate thought was: “they look just like Kleppers”.

Concerning the...

Hi,

This is a very nice thread and the Blandford designs a very nice. However the blue double seater ( in the water) is definitely a Klepper, most probably an Aerius II.

Viktor

Sorry, not an...
