</span>E-mail Several good makes of folding kayak are available in Canada, two of which I am particularly familiar with - Folboats (which have been made since the 1930-40s and the newer Feathercraft. (Both of these are 'Googleable') I have had a Folbot in the past and presently have a Feathercraft, which I personally prefer; it has more graceful lines and folds up into a backpack. I think they are great; apart from being easier and lighter to handle, I like the sense of being really in touch with the elements as I feels the water rippling against the sides.... A word of caution about assembly times; while I can dismantle my Feathercraft in approx 10 minutes, I have never in the past 10 years achieved the '15 minute assembly time' they claim - so its perhaps best not to always take these time claims too literally - but that is no deterrent to the paddling enjoyment once you work out your personal best! I have friends who have an inflatable two-man kayak and we all set out for a distant paddle with two kayaks in a small Toyota!!!
