Foldaboat!
Fold-a-boat is a seamless, hard shell, folding boat made from one single sheet of plastic. The objective is to create an accessible flat-pack leisure boat designed for flat water environments. The 2.5m vessel can be folded and packed into a small 150cm x 60cm parcel. Someone call IKEA! The product targets an outdoor activity market; water lovers, campers as well as potential boat owners. A secondary market could be applications for NGO’s responding quickly to natural disasters.
Designers: Arno Mathies & Max Frommeld

I dont see how it would fold. The boat looks like solid plastic to me not something which can be folded. And wouldnt the boat develop weaknesses along the line of folding and lose its waterproofness along these lines. Much like with umbrellas?

I think it is somehow like a flat pack….from the boat shape can be unfold to a flat surface….. but the flexibility is been limited as it show with hard plastic material.
Bartek says

Grey says
If the folding doesn’t harm the structure, then this is PURE GENIUS!! This would sell!
