None of my boats are named except for my Klepper double, which is named Annie, after my mom. Why, is a long story.... BTW, thanks to all who advised me on ferrule glue. While the two-part urethanes are no doubt the strongest glue for the purpose, I decided on 3M 5200 Quick Cure. It cures overnight, it's more than strong enough for the purpose, and should I *ever* need to replace the ferrules I have a fighting chance of getting them off with heat and a chain hoist. ;-) -- mike ------------------------- Michael Edelman mje_at_spamcop.net http://www.foldingkayaks.org http://www.findascope.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Why, is a long story.... People with folding kayaks tend to name them all the time. Names such as #%&*_at_! or *#&#!. Maybe I mean they tend to call them names when trying to assemble them. :-) ralph diaz-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
