Things are a bit slow for me. So, lots of yard work getting done and lots a time to dream up projects.
Here is my plan I have come up with for an airplane/trunk portable sailboat.
There is a company in Maine- Pakboats that makes folding Skin on Frame Canoes. 17 footer can carry 900+ pounds and weighs 56 pounds.
There is a company in the UK-Solway Dory, that makes custom sail rigs for canoes. Rig, mast step, sail, leeboard. I have spoken to SD and they have helped me with a mast step/lee board design for a SOF canoe.
Boom. Sailboat that I can fly with economy that can carry two adults and two kids for under $5k.
