This new concept of a folding paddle blade and NO-PARTS Emergency Flood Craft was
developed immediately following inefficiencies
of the system in dealing with the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina, 08/29/05. - - - - -
With a 35 second assembly, and a 12 second
dis-assembly, the light weight emergency craft
may be stored in a small vehicle's trunk for a spur of the moment fishing spot, - or can be stored in an apartment, or closet, or under the bed for a
quick response to an emergency flood situation. - - - - - Several models include folding units with attached folding oars as a means of propulsion, and with some being designed for stacking several dozen
emergency water crafts upon a single
pallet for retail display, or storage. See ( More from pioneerpaddler ) - - - - - One of the biggest targeted markets may include the same unit being stored within any basement as a stand-by protection to dry-keep any especially valuable items during a sump pump failure or potential flood situation. - Most of our designs will store in
most any closet or basement corner, and which needs only 4 inches by 32 inches by 48 inches of storage space. - The term "NO PARTS" means exactly that. . . No hardware, elastic cords, tools or fasteners needed for its 35 second and less assembly. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -The very same water craft shown in the video has also held 2 persons with a car battery and electric trolling motor and full ice chest and fishing rods on many lazy day outings to cruise the lake shown in the video for at least 3 to 5 hours per event. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Not All Versions Are Shown.
Several more in the works on paper. -

Can you do something similar with a small kayak...9 feet long?

Yes, we have protos, but which lack lateral stability. Many folding kayaks are now on the market which also include many many parts and a bit of time to assemble. With this unit, we just wanted to be the first in the world to design a boat and its means of propulsion from one material substrate while requiring no parts in its assembly and use.
