Folbot skin replacement / repair

[grot]

I have a Folbot Greenland II with rotten fabric (in many places). The rubber
bottom is in excellent condition, though. Is it possible to replace the fabric
with new? Does anyone know who is capable of doing this?

Hi Colin, If I were you I would try the klepper service center in
Colorado.
their number is, (303)782-9743. Also there is a company in Ontario
canada
that advertises in the back of SeaKayaker magazine that does repair and
restoration of all folding boats and folbot in particular. I don't have
a magazine handy or I would lookit up for you. The bottom line is this
though,
I don't think that you sould have to replace the entire hull because
the deck needs replacing.
