Footnote
I would like to explain how I managed to get this information on so many Tomahawks both new and old.
Firstly, the Tomahawk Owners Association had a number of spreadsheets going back years with information
on members boats. I combined these to establish boats that were renamed and ones that we
knew were still active plus their location, leaving a lot of unknowns (green icons), but giving me around
100 Tomahawks for the map. Then I turned to the Facebook groups and informed both TOA members
and non-members of my task; for me this opened a great new source of data and was fascinating, quite
a few were aware of other Tomahawks in their area and two in particular; John Glover and Scott Henderson,
were very pro -active and we became a Track and Trace Team, they informed me of other boats
for sale around the UK and I contacted the sellers, John even found one outside a local factory, which I
contacted. Even in Croatia, Marko made me aware of another Tomahawk, in his country at a University.
All of this filled in many gaps and has bought the figure now up to 140. So please, if you see another
Tomahawk, keep me updated and keep this map live. Many thanks!
