Suggest you email Ralph Diaz in New York with your interest, Joe. He wrote the book (literally) on folding kayaks, and should be able to give you any information --- official and allegorical --- that you or your friend would ever need. And he publishes a very good newsletter that talks to folding boats --- and kayaking in general --- that might be of interest, as well. He's at rdiaz@ix.netcom.com. Tell him "Joq" said hello.
