My job is to design boats and then to market plans as well as full size patterns. I have a network of partners, marketing kits and/or able to build a boat for you. Some partners are also marketing plans and are able to give translation and/or assistance in your language
If you intend to order a kit, you may get in touch with me, as my partner may need some files and pieces of information.
I am interested having other partners, able to sell kits in more and more countries, and I will consider any demand.
You will find hereunder the list of partners.
