Not everyone has a vehicle that can carry an OC, so some have been working on the idea of a folding model. Here's one of the latest prototypes. I know how it comes apart, but not sure how it goes back together. Duct tape?

If no fit, just put spit!

Not laughing at him at all. We wish that we could brag about doing it to our canoes (just wouldn't want to deal with a wrecked canoe).

Anyway, I hope I will post photos of my canoe fixed next week... ;-)
