: Thanks for all the tips, it gives me some good ideas.
: Yeah the folding method I am going to try is experimental, it could all end
: it tears, I suppose that is half the fun. I will post the results.

One advantage to the SOF boat is if your folding method doesn't work it's fairly easy to go back to a rigid hull structure and then you still can use the boat.

Might want to take some time looking at Tom Yost's folding designs for ideas.
