You’re welcome. (I’m one of the few folding kayak geeks on these forums.)
The older Folbots used marine plywood for the ribs It should be fairly easy to make one from a good grade half inch plywood by using the parts of the broken one as a pattern.

I’ve got the same one and I’ll probably sell for 250 as well if you or anyone else is interested

Do you still have that boat? If so, let’s talk.
Many pieces, parts and assemblies have been sent all over North America. I have frames 1, 2, and 3 left. The lower bow assembly, left bow assembly, and right and left stern assemblies are also available… everything is located in Bloomington, Indiana.
I am looking for a lower stern assembly (the piece along the “floor” of the kayak) and the left stern assembly for a greenland II (aluminum frame)
.
I do have the left stern assembly you need. What happened to your lower stern assembly? I don’t know if it is possible to swap out some pieces and use the bow assembly I have and stern pieces you might have to put together a functioning stern assembly.
Not sure if I could jury rig a fix with the lower bow assembly. I would love to see what parts you have for the greenland II. Could you post pictures of what you have?
Frames 1, 2, and 3 are left. The lower bow assembly, left bow assembly, and right and left stern assemblies are also available… everything is located in Bloomington, Indiana. $50 or any frame or assembly. A deal could be worked out if some were to just come get what I have left. I have packaged and shipped everything else, all across North America. Most pieces have to be custom boxed to help keep shipping costs down.
Thanks for those. They look like they are in great condition. I will double check my boat parts to make sure of what I need and to see if the bow can double as a stern.
Do you still have parts left?
Missing the black plastic rod around the whole

Anyone want a complete circa 1970’s Folbot tandem? Wood. Has rudder and sail kit. Complete - just vintage. Bags, pads, paddles, canopy, etc. Good-very good condition.
Zip 12533. Come get it.

If you are talking about the cockpit coaming pieces, those have been sold. Sorry.
I have a Greenland aluminum frame kayak and accidentally broke a plastic part that fits under the bow. Does anyone know where I can get a new part?
Your best bets would be doing on search on eBay, where people with older folders often parts out the frames once the skins have failed AND join one or more of the folding kayak groups on Facebook. I have seen exchanges on some of the folder groups there where people exchanged or offered extra parts for sale.
The demise of the foldingkayaks.org forum was a great loss for those of us who own collapsible watercraft. It was a great place to find help (and parts).
If you still have the broken part and could glue it back together, you might be able to find somebody who could digitally scan and duplicate it with a 3D printer.
Thank you for your kind advice. There are currently no items for sale, but I will keep looking on eBay.
You may be able to fabricate the part from plastic Starboard. Use the broken part as the pattern.
Looking for a replacement part for a Greenland II, the stern bottom keel board latch section, would like the bow as well. will pay top value for the part.
I want to save my precious boat.
Thanks, John Spezia
There is a Facebook group that was set up a couple of years ago after the very useful foldingkayaks.org closed down (the guy who ran it could no longer afford the time and expense of maintaining it.) Several former active participants on his site were part of setting it up and it has become a great resource for an international community of folder owners. Search for “Folding Kayaks” and then join it. There have been many used boats and parts posted on there, as well as people responding with helpful information when inquiries are posted.
