Knoydart offer a folding range that enables world-wide wilderness travel in creek, river, estuary, exposed coastline or open ocean exploration.
Folding craft offer a unique combination of state of the art technology, cutting edge materials and evolution of a building process that the Inuit developed some 4000 years ago - a watertight skin stretched over a flexible frame that absorbs wave energy and gives smooth forward motion.
They're incredibly seaworthy, with a fast cruising speed thats easy to sustain in rough conditions.The impact absorbing construction makes for unrivaled stability.
They fold down into a backpack, can travel with you by plane or securely inside a compact car and can be stored in cupboard or loft. They can be paddled, sailed, rowed, and even powered, should you wish.
It's easy to make permanent repairs in field conditions and they have a long life span as there is the option to replace components, rather than repair, as your kayak ages.

Military Forces world-wide use folding boats for their portability, toughness and
versatility.
Watch your paddling horizons expand as you transform your backpack into a sleek expedition craft in a matter of minutes.
Modern folding kayaks are made of a flexible, watertight skin stretched over a lightweight, flexible frame.
The framework assembly of each boat is similar. Solid bow and stern pieces and hull defining crossribs are held in place by longitudinal rods, additional folding floorboards and gunwales add stiffness and shape.
Most folding craft have a set of inflatable sponsons sewn into the skin to add flotation, simplify assembly & help tension the hull. They can alter the shape of the hull to make the boat more stable in difficult conditions or when carrying heavy loads. |
