Ralph Hoehn here. I have posted the below in a couple of other spots already
and thought that it might be of interest to some of you, too.

Wanted: Builders of folding boats, kayaks, canoes, dinghies ... we have just
launched FoldingBoats, the mailing list dedicated to the construction of
folding skin-and-frame boats!
In various parts of the world a rebirth of interest in the "craft" is
currently under way - may the term refer to the folding boats themselves, as
well as to the art of building them, of course.
There is a great variety of solutions to the challenges involved in designing
and constructing sturdy, dependable, sea- and white-water-worthy craft in
such a way as to allow their disassembly for storage and transportation and
their reassembly in a reasonable amount of time for use.
The FoldingBoats mailing list provides a platform for fellow enthusiasts, on
which to exchange ideas, techniques, designs, tips and tricks, materials and
their sources, as well as a means of updating each other on current projects,
of asking for advice and to benefit from others' experiences, whether they be
successes or failures. The list will also serve as a collection point for
historical information.
The FoldingBoats mailing list runs in parallel to the "Amateur Folding Boat
Builders Corner" online forum (AFBBC), hosted on www.PouchBoats.com/discus.
We intend eventually to merge access to the mailing list and the forum,
giving correspondents both options of a) using the online version, which
allows the posting of pictures, or b) reading and contributing conveniently
via email only.
Come and join us!
