G'day, I've placed some pictures of a folding boat on my very newly created blog website http://rebyl-kayak.blogspot.com/. Does anyone recognise or know anything of the history of this boat? Or can you recommend me to groups / people who might have such information? If you could include my email address on your replies as I'm not yet able to receive Paddlewise emails.

Back when I was studying frames I found this site: http://www.faltbootbasteln.de/ and I took a lot of images from that site and put them together so that I could compare. For you it could be a kind of "index" to the original site to help you find something (hopefully). http://paddleandoar.com/kayak_frames/ Good luck!

If you close in on it being a klepper I've got a 1930 klepper frame that I can send you pictures of. Some of the ways that the stringers attach to the bow and stern look similar. If anyone knows where to sell a 1930 klepper (frame only). I'm never going to skin it so a new owner is in order...

Thanks Matt, I'm back on deck after the Christmas break. I don't have the boat for comparison, just photos at the moment. However, I did get a chance for a close look and there are no identification letters or numbers on the boat it may have been modified/repaired over the years. Also there is no fabric cover or flag. A distinctive feature is the relatively short stern section. I'm following a lead at the moment with the son of an Australian manufacturer. Will let you know what the outcome is and will ask the owners for the length and beam measurements.
