Thanks for the reply Tom.

That boat looks fantastic. I built a sof fuselage outrigger canoe with over the summer based off a Hawaiian sailing canoe. It worked out well. The only thing I don't like is transporting my boats. Quick folding and being able to store the boat in my vehicle is the key to the absolute most use! I am so excited. I have been doing a lot of research about folding boats for the last few months and I really like this quick style of assembly. I think the Oru kayak has some potential too, and it just begs for a home build template.
