wow it's awsome the boat!

Could you tell me the name of the background music??

[barnabyroberts]

@demianshima Thankyou, I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the music. It was one of the options from youtubes library of background music.

You designed it? It looks exactly like the origami dinghy that has been around for at least 5 years. There are several videos on youtube of it.

[barnabyroberts]

@macrumpton Yes, I did. I had seen the Origami before making this and there are several main differences. I specifically wanted to make it both easier to build and quicker to setup than the Origami. The method of folding is quite different and the Concertina has no loose parts (besides the oars).

@barnabyroberts Those sound like good useful modifications, but you should definitely acknowledge your sources unless you want it to look like you are stealing somebody else's idea.

Excellent - both the idea and the beautiful music the video is set to. Bruce Thomson, in New Zealand.
