Portable Sail Boat
Urban Skiff
The Urban Skiff, by designers Thomas Giger, Anita Meyer, Florian Ueker, Femke Morf and Thomas Etter is a portable/foldable sail boat that comes complete and ready to assemble. When you're ready to go sailing all you need to do is grab your boat, load it onto your vehicle and head out to wherever it is you go boating. Once you reach your destination, assembling the boat seems, from the distance print images offer, fairly easy to do. Buyers beware:The assembled boat looks like a body bag but don't let that freak you out just be ready for the authorities if you get pulled over.
