Posted in Business, Consumer, Cool, Entertainment, Funny, Gadgets, Travel by david on the July 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am

This small sailing craft can be folded down so small that it can be carried on your back in the bag provided.

It is perfect for holidays, camping trips or just for people who like to go out on the river or lake in your new boat.
