May 2021, 14.5' Foldable Tandem Canoe
I am creating a series in building the Gen 15 (Solo) and Gen 16 (Tandem) Canoe. Please get the latest info from my Youtube Channel: DIY USA - YouTube
Spring/April 2021 design: A 9.5' Foldable Solo Canoe
I have further improved the base design, which is similar to Gen 12 and 14. The assembly is simpler and faster (less than two minutes). It cost less than US $100. Because the water is still very cold, I have not water tested this canoe yet. Will share more details after testing in May 2021.
