: Thanks Roy ... I'll post pics of the Falco 16 Greenland when it's
: completed and tested on water.

: I was not aware of the all plywood folder you mention above. As far
: as hinged boats, there is a small commercial
: runabout (Porta Boat) that folds along it's length, but not into
: small sections like the Falco.

: Best, Tom

Hi Tom
I don't remember if it was all plywood . I remember that the hull was....not sure about the deck. It was one of those boats that more resemble a pumpkin seed (row-boat-esk) large cockpit.....I only vaguely remember it (might have been in either boys life or popular mechanics) Yours looks a lot nicer that the one I'm thinking of (it was 45 or 50 years ago) :)
Keep up the work....the world needs fast assembling kayaks so they can be transported in small car trunks and on motorcycles
Best Wishes
Roy
