G'day,

There is one in Maine. It is the first one we built and was a costing
disaster, resulting in me nearly going broke and the owner not talking
to us. He is the harbour master at Rockport (maybe Rockland?) in
Maine, name George (can't remember his surname, it is on the other
computer which is not working at the moment). feel free to call him
and if you succeeed, I would love to hear how it goes. Others on this
list have visited him, but I don't know how they got on.

Otherwise, you have to visit Holland or Aus.

regards,

Rob
