yes, I know they're postcards sold on Ebay (and I don't know how it'd be possible to get plans) but I like the look of them  :D

Hey,

There is a link to the official website of Elias Lonnrot, built in the 1980's with diesel propulsion and independant paddle drive, so i've read.

http://www.eliaksenristeilyt.fi/

The ship is Finnish, and the website is in Finnish too and doesnt seem to have an english version.

Maybe you speak finnish or are patient with a translator?!

Just thought you might like to see it in case you hadnt already....

Regards, Andrew

I have just been to an English version of the history page:
www.eliaksenristeilyt.fi/sivut/english/history.htm
which links back to all of the other aspects, with plenty of English explanation.
The cruising season is May to August.
