customer service.  He is also affiliated with my faltboot guru, Hi paddlers on NatureNS, as some may know I paddle kayaks that didn't came off a shelf. I built them with a technique called stitch and glue from plywood. fibreglass and epoxy. Well they don't fold, would be here a catastrophic failure, even if one breaks down - intentionally- into three segments for easier transport and storage. Folding boats are tempting options as one could take them to pretty much everywhere on our planet and to other once they found some with water on it. With a bit more time on hand I would consider building -what else- one of the following designs. It looks pretty straight forward, tool and space requirements are minimalistic, and building boats is fun. A friend of mine who used to run workshops in the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic used to say "If you can tie your shoes you can built a kayak". So everybody not exclusively wearing shoes with velcro closures or rubberboots should have a look at: http://www.yostwerks.com/ But be warned! Building boats is dangerous. You likely get hooked and soon you call yourself the owner of a flotilla and have to find place to store the ones you don't use (two ready to go here in Dartmouth, three more stashed in the Valley).
