First Assembly of...

...the Boat


I got some questions how that works with that foldable boat. Here is how, first I assemble a frame, made of aluminum poles, much like a light-weight tent. 


While it is up-side down I skin it, at each end the frame as a tensioner that puts the necessary tension to the skin. When blowing up the six tubes, three in each side it gains the required stiffness.


After I have installed the seat, a deck that has two poles in it and a frame around the cockpit gets attached with Velcro along the side. Ready to go boating.
