>> I'm not sure if I sent this to the list or not, but Valley will be replacing my carbon/kevlar Nordkapp. They had experienced a similar problem with a couple of other models made around the same time, in mid 95. They have changed their production methodology and now heat cure the boats. Both Stan, at Great River (the US importers) and Robin at Valley were exceptional in the way they handled this. I didn't have to ask..they offered! They are also going to let me select wahtever configuration I'd prefer, since the other boat was "off the shelf". I'm probably going to keep the skg, but I wonder if any Nordkappers have any feel for the traditional vs Jubilee hull design? Any comments on moving the bulhead for use as a foot brace?>> Bob, Why is it that I almost never see a Brittish boat in Southern California? Why do you prefer the Nordkapp to any of the many American or Canadian designs of similar dimensions?
