Thanks for acknowledging my fathers recent death.
He was a very important part of aluminum boat building development in the early 70s to the mid 80s.
With companies such as Enfield marine, Sims Aluminum as well as 2 tecnical books on the subject he did indeed make an impact on the industry that I believe owes him a debt of gratitude.
Thank you for putting this statement up.
Kind regards.
Martin Sims.
