Re: [Paddlewise] FW: sponsons

Hi Ralph,

Do you have the patent number?  Is it Canadian only?  First of all, I almost can't
imagine Tim putting together a good patent claim.  Secondly, the prior art goes back
probably several hundred years.  Thanks for the reference on Voyageur.  My K-light,
as almost all folding boats, has internal sponsons.  I suppose Feathercraft as well
as Klepper and Folbot might be able to direct me to their sponson supplier.

Thanks for the info,

Keith
