If the link is dead try searching york, PA craigslist for "folding sailboat" if the ad runs out I'll repost it. I'll pull it when it sells, so if you find the ad on craigslist it's still available.

Great little boat. Could be a tender for a larger boat, or something fun to poke around a local lake. Great for kids or two smaller adults. (or solo)

If you're not near York, PA I can possibly deliver.

If this is posted in the wrong forum please tell me where I can post it. This forum was very helpful when I was considering building/buying a wooden sailboat, but I ended up with a clorox bottle instead. (Venture 17)

Thanks!

Well, you aren't supposed to post stuff for sale here, so best thing is to slyly get another Forumite to notice the sale and post a link. Best of luck selling the boat!

Oh. Hmmm.. Well if YOU happen to be on craigslist york PA and see anything interesting let me know. Hopefully it won't upset anyone. If they click on the subject title thing and are totally offended then I'll delete it.

If the consensus is it must go -- then it shall. Thanks for the heads up though.

The basic rule, is you can post something on craigslist, but only if you have no personal interest in the matter. So while I sympathize to your cause, if I'm not mistaken it is verboten.

Actually, there's a guy over on sailnet inquiring about folding dinghies. I don't know where he's located, but check with them.
I read the building blog and liked it.

I certainly have no involvement in this at all, and with that said, I'll have to say that these are pretty neat folding boats. (I have a friend with one.) Built in the U.K. I believe, nicely thought out & put together. Reminds me of aircraft construction, it is all very light weight & yet the strength is where it is needed. Not a robust dinghy, but it folds flat as a pancake, can be carried under one arm, sets up in about 3 minutes, and will carry a decent load. Quite creative.

Oops, it looks like these might be home built versions & not the original U.K. ones.

There's an interesting one here, there was one at Beale Park last year.

All the rules not withstanding, looks like a nice deal for somebody.
