V=CwYxyv7hZVU Only minor issue with the boat is the metal cap that holds together the coaming (the stiff plastic cockpit rim) in the front has broken off. The plastic snapped connecting the cap to the # 2 crossframe.
The cockpit nose casting is fine. I have used the boat several times without it. I simply use some duct tape to hold the two coaming pieces together. In 1956, Dr. Hannes Lindemann crossed the Atlantic in a kayak of similar design.
It was modeled on the age-old Inuit kayak design of a frame covered with skins. Enjoy the excitement of sailing without the escalating costs of owning a larger boat. Do you not own a kayak because you have no place to store a hardshell kayak? Are you going on the trip of a lifetime and want to bring a Double Kayak on the plane with you ? Wait no more !
Here's a kayak you can fold up and put in a corner of your closet or on an airplane, and put together in 20 minutes when you want to paddle or sail. Folds up into two bags that easily fit in a car's trunk or an apartment's closet, and can even be taken as luggage on an airplane. Famous for their quality, Folbots are so strong they've crossed the Atlantic. Take our Greenland II Double Folding Kayak on your next trip of a lifetime ! This Folbot Expedition-grade Double Kayak Package comes complete with folbot's premier folding frame, folbot's famous super-strong folding hull, a deluxe foot-controlled rudder, inflatable side sponsons, and two comfy ultralight seats.
This Expedition Greenland II Kayak comes pre-fitted to accept an add-on Expedition Batwing Sail. A FAST Batwing Sail will typically move the kayak up to 6 mph in light-to-medium winds - much faster than paddling, and rivaling the speed of large sailboats! And since putting up the sail is so easy, convert from paddling to sailing and back again whenever you want. This FAST Expedition Batwing sail is made especially for the Greenland II !
