Read the first line, then scroll down to "International Shipping

If your looking for a boat try this. They have a dealer in Hong Kong.
As for an investment we kept ours 20 years and sold it for 50% more
than the original price.

Actually, I already have a new Folboat Aleut. Someone on another
newsgroup sent it to me for free (in the actual sense) in exchange for
the enjoyment of reading my 'Life in Congo' series!

Its back in the US for now, to be brought out here this summer when I
return from summer break. But my heart also craves a canoe, so I'm
hoping to buy one of those. I'm just in the preliminary phase now,
looking to find out what shipping costs are.

Compairing a Folboat to a Klepper to is like comaparing a Trabant to a 500
SL.
