Although I don't think you want to make a foldable baidarka, this is agood
occasion to introduce my video clip that shows how a
- Folding Greenland Baidarka assembles itself -
Just hop over to http://www.eskimo.com/~hmaroske/baidarka/node-j09.html
and view a 2.1 Megabytes gif-video with netscape :)
This is my first attempt at a computer video about my folding baidarka, taken
and processed at 2 o'clock in the night. So don't expect too much of it. I
just thought _someone_should_do_that_ :))
For those who are interested but don't want to download so much stuff,
here is a 240kB video of my flip-up rudder flipping up and down:

Have fun,
Hendrik
N.B.: the big video itself actually is located on my brother's computer that
sometimes gets used under D*S, so if it is unavailable, just try again
later...
