boatbuilders in australia

[wim]

I'm looking for some addresses of boatbuilders in australia, doesn't matter where.
can anyone help me with that?

WIM, I notice that you're in the Netherlands, so I can't believe you want a boat built in Oz. I assume, therefore, that you're looking to pick a few Oz boatbuilding brains.

May I respectfully ask which, of the many sorts of things we have in our collective brains out here, you might wish to learn?

thanks for your reply, mike.
at the moment I am studying to become a boatbuilder down here in Denmark.
now I've heard that Australian ships survive longer in European climate than American ships.
I would like to know in what ways your building techniques diver from American or Scandinavian boatbuilding.
or if anyone has any idea why that is.

so I guess it is just a long distance chat about boats.

Hello again, WIM. I don't think this is going to be too easy to do long-distance except by email, but I notice you don't have an email address listed.

I'm happy enough to act as a clearing-house for you if you can let me have a contact address of some sort, and a list of starter questions you'd like to ask.

My email address is in my profile, and our postal address is on our website (URL in profile also.)

Are there any other Aussie boatbuilders out there who'd like to contribute?
