Emergency Rescue Pop Up Folding Boat w/ Folding Oars

e-mail from W.L. . . .
I think these are great and ideal for emergency teams.
I would be interested in procuring a couple of these for our
local emergency scuba team.
- Rescue instructor Program director - in reply to: Mr. W. L.; -
No, the emergency water crafts are not yet available . . . Commandant Heinz, a chief officer of the U.S.C.G. evaluated other videos from the viewpoint of a
craft being used within open seas or basically in the middle of the ocean, and where that is
his job to have that perspective. He did like one of our versions, but hesitated to perceive the
craft being used as an open ocean environment rescue craft; and ultimately suggested the
craft remain as a recreational craft without further and first hand examination. All water crafts, and especially an emergency water craft must begin with the U.S.C.G. testing
and rating their weight limits. We do envision the craft meeting U.S.C.G. requirements as an inner coastal emergency water craft... Myself and my two sons weigh about 450 pounds total. All three of us have
stood up within one version, and rocked it violently from side to side without going overboard. Within the "no-parts"version, and other units which did not have elastic cords; we have
pushed all 4 sidewalls outward and downward to within 1 inch of the water's surface without capsizing. Envision dozens of the folded units being stacked on a single pallet for
storage or retail sales display, and where the end consumer unfolds the unit to
tear off or cut off the flat folding oars to insert within the sidewalls of the fully assembled water craft; and all without using any tools or parts, other than
possibly needing a pocket knife. ( The material is much tougher than it looks, and so does not tear away as easily as we thought it would in its perforated
attachment to the flat unfolded structure.) But my personal goal is to see an emergency craft with an attached means of propulsion which does not require any other
part or tool (pocket knife); and so, we are still working on that
particular concept of a pallet stacked with "no-parts" water crafts with their attached means of propulsion; ( the flat folding oars ). In the video which shows 4 units with means of propulsion being deployed from a 5th water craft, you will hear chuckles of amazement as our camera person
and others on shore view the 4 emergency water crafts being deployed within 55 seconds. The most amazing part of that video is that any of the 4 units will stack
within any of the others. Summarily, we are seeking a manufacturer /investor to take charge and
financially delegate the proper course. - thank you, and congratulations on your ability to envision potential . . .

Brilliant. It doesn't appear safe for deep waters like major oceas, but then again, If the titanic had 3000 of these, really how much weight can it be far as lag and Its better to have this rather then nothing. I would imagine lots of lives can be saved with this idea. Good work pioneerpaddler, bottzxl32

- The 26 inch by 122 inch with 1/2 inch thick walls

version held 3 standing persons totaling 450 lbs.

- The draft was 4 inches with 7 inches freeboard.

- That version holds 115 lbs. per vertical inch of

draft... 

- It was not originally intended to serve as an

instant fishing boat until more recent available

materials allowed larger sizes.

It was first intended to be a LIFE SAVING craft. - Eventually, a dedicated extrusion machine

will be forming them according to our own specs.

- Finally . . . its great to see comments with vision to see the real value of this new concept as being a pop-up LIFE SAVING water craft... - It was initiated by both sons immediately after Hurricane Katrina in 2005... - Available materials for larger proto sizes have recently become available to us... - A larger size has fit in confined spaces such as a small trunk of a late model Corvette or small closet... - U.S.C.G. approved closed cell foam is next. - thanks for your comment !

make a mount and put a troling motor on it

[pioneerpaddler]

We have mounted several different models of trolling motors many different times. . . and without any special mounts or support boards required. The thicker and so more sturdy 1/2 inch material worked best, while the endwall or stern or transom portion did waiver back and forth too much on the thinner 1/4 inch stock, , , , We have also tried a side mounting on the heavier stock, but it proved too difficult to steer without a side daggerboard being placed on the opposite side from the motor.

WHAT IF THEY FLOOD AND CAN A PERSON GET IN FROM DEE\P WATER IN OTHER WORDS A EMERGENCY SITUATION ..... ITS A GOOD WATER TOY

[krankenstyn]

@pioneerpaddler what kind of materials are you using and how you make it waterproof?

[Bendertent]

I realize the boat is lightweight but wouldn't fishing in it on a calm day be safe enough? It seems to be handling the weight really well.

I have bought Plans 4 Boats, you can read my review here - clickbankreviewdude(dot)com/pl­ans-4-boats-review

[indolin]

I want the one that folds up after you get in it! I just want to lay in it in calm water.
