 Special
Notes
Hello Trent,
Here are some pictures and data from my mini boats which I built
through the years. Even in Holland micros are becoming more and
more popular, we now race also mini mono and mini hydro at the ESH
races (http://members.home.nl/esh/esh.htm).
I follow your homepage for a few years now, it's getting better
en bigger every time and it is really an outstanding site for all
mini boaters! Keep up the good work! Lots of info!
