a friend asked the following:

"Maybe you can solve my puzzle:

Whatever happened to the Karlisch oar manufacturing company?" Prior to Concept II revolutionizing the oar industry, they were considered the finest wooden oars made."

any info from the rsr brain trust?

Karlisch must have been one of the brilliant shell makers.
He and Empacher learned at the same yard, and worked together the first years.
Then Empacher moved to southern germany.
I have heard rumors that say, that Empacher might have build boats "in a manner" as his former collegue karlisch did.
Karlisch did invent plenty of DIY boatbuilding sets for sailing boats too. They were to assemble at home.
There have been sold plenty of them.

And imagine :
The karlisch boats manufacture was 10km away from Karl Adam in Ratzeburg.
He definitely took great benefit from the brilliance of his boats.
Funny, because Janusek stämpfli still build the eight on the karlisch form.
