Ebbtide Shipyard- call for photos!!

Ebbtide Owners- we received this email from Reinier IJben and Hans Struiksma, two gentlemen in Holland starting an Ebbtide Shipyard. They just visited with Ms. Pape to acquire some design plans. They need images of Ebbtide for their blog. Please email them directly with photos, or email us with permission to pass your boat along. Let's support the growing Ebbtide family!

Dear Ellen and John,
Thank you very much for the effort. I will try to contact Craig Carlson. The information that Bill has given is great, and we will take them all in mind during the design process.

Reinier and his wife have been to England and visited Ms. Pape. Ms.Pape was extremely helpful, although she had a difficult time to find all the right information. We bought an almost complete set for the Ebbtide 39. Last week we went through the drawings, and were both impressed by
the design skills of Alan Pape. The amount of details is great. Reinier allso got a video copy of a lecture that Alan Pape has given. We are allowed to use it, and parts will be on the website.
Together with background information on Alan.

We're now in the process of putting the drawings in the computer. Our aim is to work with a integral digital design. Cost estimate and delivery time estimate, are under te way.

At this moment we have enough information to finish the website design. So in the coming weeks we will focus on that.

Kind regards from Reinier and Hans.

I have a complete set of Alans design drawings for the Ebbtide 39 .We are in the throes of thinking of building. We already have an Ebbtide 33 we built, but due to an expanding family may have to go larger for distance cruising.
The only detail lacking was more nformation on the keel hung rudder trim tab on why required and how to operate.

Do you have the rig plan? I have been asked to make some sails for a guy in the IoM and cannot lay my hands on the dimensions.
