Another Citibot Review

A review posted in the Forum by desertpaddler has been copied to the Long Reviews section on the main pages.

New Photo Gallery Section

I've created a new place to put photos of kayak mods, starting with two albums from Jan Vlietland in Germany. One album shows Jan's clever mod to a Klepper T6 frame, shortening it so that it packs in only 3'. The other album shows Jan's fitting and customization of a Wayland hull for his Klepper. More details and explanations will follow.

Photo Gallery Restored!

And upgraded, too. Took me a number of hours but I managed to convert all the old accounts and files from the original gallery to a new SQL-based version. This should make future upgrates and data recovery easier, too.

New Boat from Folbot!

Head on over to Folbot's Web Site to see a redesigned website and a brand new boat! It's called the Citibot, and it's the smallest and lightest Folbot yet- but it's still rated to carry a 210 lb load (and can probably carry much more in calm waters). There are photos in the gallery, a short review, and a longer in-progress review up.
