Got it.
Always handy to have a network of good contacts.
Especially if they are on the Texel race committee.
He didn't have the mail adress of your contact on him right now, but he will send me an e-mail with the detail this evening.
You will have the info before tomorrow.

G'day Rolf,
We get more enquiries about Harrys from Scandinavia than any other area. 2 x 20m/66' proas being built in Tromso, a 15m/50' in Finland and a stretched Elementarry in Jan Mayen Island. There is probably no more desolate or unlikely spot for boat building in the world. Plus, we got second in a Norwegian design competition and the only Harry copy so far is in Finland.
The race boat to Shetlands is pretty easy. Basically a scaled up Elementarry with as much or as little space as you can handle. The three of you could build it in a month or so, and it would cost you less than $AUS10,000/$US7,500/50,000 krona each. Let me know when you want to start!
Regards,
Rob
You mean, like, Ford?
Look in your inbox ! Good luck
No, not like Ford. Can you picture such a big comany named Henry?
Last names are ok. Companies starting at a garage are ok too, don´t take the comment out of context
Cheers
G'day,
Rediscovered this thread while looking for some other stuff.
European trip a disaster as the boat was not finished. Mainly due to the builders perfectionism. Should be ready for next summer when we do it all again, plus some big boat races in the first of the 15m/50' harryproas. Weighs 2,000 kgs/4,500lbs so should be pretty quick.
My 7.5m/25' Elementarry is now in Perth. Stewart, let me know if you want a sail. Out today in 15 knots of breeze, top speed 16.5, which is disappointing, but the mast/sails combination needs work, as does my technique.
Wouter, the 90 sq m Outleader is on the 15m, if you want to have a go, let me know and I will organise it. Otherwise, next summer for sure!
Regards,
Rob
