I believe that Chris Mitchell, from the Bellingham, WA area, handles and  
paddles Rockpool.  If someone was interested, I'm sure he could be  contacted 
through the WAKE site (Whatcom Association of Kayak Enthusiasts). He  was 
the instructor for the recent ACA Level two instructors certification held  
at Bellingham. I don't know if he will be at the Port Townsend Symposium.

Very  interesting boat. I wonder if someone might have one at the Port
Townsend  seminar this month. Pricing for kevlar boats are now into the mid
US$4k  range now with glass boats running in the mid to upper US$3k range.  
I
wonder where this will fall. Also wonder how it compares to  Sterling's
Illusion and the old, faithful, Mariners.
