Sevtec Site moves HERE!

Barry Palmer ("Mr Sevtec") retired earlier this year - the full range of Sevtec hovercraft plans are now available from Amphibious Marine. They sell kits and parts also but don't ship outside the USA and Canada - all parts to build a Sev (except Props) can be sourced in the UK and Europe (look at the parts supplier pages on this site).  Barry's web site is now hosted HERE on the hovercruiser site - it contains a lot of interesting historical and design information on hovercraft (and hang gliding, etc).
