If you would like you can hitch a ride with me to BWY rendezvous in Port Townsend. I will leave early morning on Thurs...

Hi Ski, Sorry for late intrusion. As i was reading this thread, I was getting more and more confused. :? So,..

Saw a few products from feathercraft.com, they are in Vancouver, BC. Very nice quality materials and craftsmanship. Want one of their tenders (weights only 10lb) for myself but price bites.
P.S. I do not work for them.
