Hi Emmanuel,<br>
<br>
Hmm, well it sounds like WE need to credit Bob! I'll copy Larry
Weeks on this, and see what should be done. Thanks!<br>
<br>
Good luck with your research into planked L16s, we'd love to be
included on what you find out!<br>

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> Hi Emmanuel,<br>
<br>
No, I guess you need to write Bob Wallstrom directly.
Maybe a reminder email now and then if you don't hear from
him. I think he's pretty busy, but he's a wonderful
resource for L16s!<br>
<br>
Concerning the plagiarism, why don't you just credit Bob
on the website? I think that's all he's looking for.<br>
<br>
I've sent Larry Weeks (L16 #204, Wild Irish), who
maintains our website, an email asking him to make sure
you are added to our listserve. Are you getting messages
from that listserve now?<br>
<br>
There are two other active L16 Fleets in the US, a small
one (about 4 or 5 boats) in San Diego, and a giant array
of ~40 L16s in and around Mt. Desert Island in Maine. <br>
<br>
Here are folks to contact in Maine:<br>

Pancho Cole <a href="mailto:panchocole@gmail.com" target="_blank"><panchocole@gmail.com></a><br>
David Folger <a href="mailto:willowindfarm@gmail.com" target="_blank"><willowindfarm@gmail.com></a><br>

Here are folks to contact in San Diego:<br>
<br>
Janet Callow <a href="mailto:Jcallow77@aol.com" target="_blank"><Jcallow77@aol.com></a><br>
Patti Rague <a href="mailto:patti@raguestudio.com" target="_blank"><patti@raguestudio.com></a><br>
<br>
I don't think any of these fleets has planked L16s, but
they may have some knowledge to share. <br>
<br>
I wonder if contacting WoodenBoat Magazine would help as
well? They have a Register of Wooden Boats, though I've
never tried looking for planked L16s there. You might want
to add your boat to the Register! You can do it online,
and it doesn't cost anything:<br>
<br>
<font color="#3333ff"><a href="http://rwb.woodenboat.com/rwb/index.php" target="_blank">http://rwb.woodenboat.com/rwb/index.php</a></font><br>
<br>
You might also try emailing one of their researchers.
I've corresponded with Pat Lown:<br>
<br>
<font color="#006600">"I am Pat Lown, research assistant,
<a href="mailto:pat.lown@woodenboat.com" target="_blank">pat.lown@woodenboat.com</a>
or 207-359-4651. I work part-time, generally M-T-W. "</font><br>
<br>
Let me know how you do!<br>

Hey, here's a trivia question: On the 1945

an umlaut: "Lüders". What's up with that?
It's the only place I've seen Luders use an

but not the planked
version. Luders Marine had
a fire at some point, and
many (all?) documents on
site were lost. I'm hoping
Bob Wallstrom knows of a
source for you. If you're
willing, please copy the L16
listserve on this topic,
we'd all love to hear what
you find out!<br>

p.s. When in 1987 I was
looking to join the Chicago
L16 Fleet, I corresponded
with an owner from NY who
had a planked L16 for sail.
Here'a a pic! <font color="#ff0000">Emmanuel,
send us all pics of your
boat, will you?</font><br>

Sir, Madam,<br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><font color="#3333ff">I
have just discovered
a planked Luders 16,
built before 1939 by
the Luders Marine
Construction Cie,
and imported in
France by Fank "Jay"
Gould to compete on
the Lake Leman. She
is very likely the
last planked L-16
still sailing. <br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><font color="#3333ff">I
would highly
appreciate to learn
more about the ship
construction and
have access to the
original plans, in
order to make the
necessary
restoration work
according to the
original design. <br>
</font></div>
<div style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:small"><font color="#3333ff">I
have sought
information,
including on the
great Mystic Seaport
website, but I was
not able,
unfortunately, to
find relevant
information. Would
you be aware of of
any useful link or
people to contact,
please be so kind
and let me know. <br>
