Gert, I go to Europe every two years and as my major supplier is dutch, we always wind up in Amsterdam for a weekend. I have always wanted to charter a local to do a dinner and drinks on a small, nicely appointed private boat while we tour the canals. Does anyone you know do this? I will be there in early/ mid May. My email is rod at urbanimpact dot com

You do great work. I love that wood. Is the wheel wood with aluminum spokes?

Gert,
Beautiful well thoughtout design, reminds me of a Crosby yacht club tenders that are used by the clubs around the North Shore of Boston. Love the wood work, it's nice to see quality workmanship in today's world of just get it on the market quick boat building.
