Back pack compact design came from students Max Frommeld, 29, and Arno Mathies, 26, were both studying for their
Masters degrees in production design at London's Royal College of Art.
When one
day they came up with the idea for the Flatboat. As this design came about one day as they came up
with the idea for the Fold boat that would be easy to carry. During a workshop in which they were
encouraged to make furniture out of paper, they started making origami boats
and realised they could put their idea into action. The single sheet can
be folded over and over again up to 6,000 times and the Fold boat comes in two
designs - one that folds into an easy-to-carry parcel and one that unfolds
completely flat.
It's easy to fold a tiny paper origami boat that 'sails'
- but a new full-sized foldable plastic boat can sail with a person inside, and
folds out from a single flat sheet in just two minutes. As the folding boat' is a seamless folding, leisure boat made from a standard
sheet of plastic which can be assembled in a relatively short period of time. Another
model of the £800 'Foldboat' can be folded up and carried in a backpack. The
boat is folded from a 8ft by 5ft piece of plastic and can be transformed from a
flat sheet to a rowing boat by a single person in two minutes using only three
components.

The folding boat folds out from back pack size to a fully
functioning boat. Made from a single sheet of plastic that can be folded over
and over again up to 6,000 times.
The Fold boat comes in two designs - one that
folds into an easy-to-carry parcel and one that unfolds completely flat. As the
name suggests, the boat is literally folded from a flat 2.5m x 1.5m plastic
sheet and can be transformed from flat sheet to row boat by a single person in
2 minutes using only 3 components. Costing around £800, each is equipped with a
pair of oars made from ash with plastic blades, plus waterproof, floating cushions
that can users can cling onto if the boat should capsize. Creator Arno said it
takes minutes to assemble, comprising of just three folds and a couple of clips
to hold the sides in place. Arno said it can be used by manipulating the
material, we have created live hinges allowing you to fold and un-fold the
plastic sheet into the shape of a boat. It's a bit like the hinge on the lid of
a shampoo bottle and it can be folded multiple times.

parcel and one that folds out flat. It can be transformed from a flat sheet
into a working rowing boat in just two minutes, its creators claim.This very light floor
that can be assembled either an emergency beckon could be prove to be a life
saver with a few modifications, as it can be flung over board quickly. Also could
be a very reasonable life craft for fisherman, as one fisher man survived a
night adrift in the Alaskan sea after his boat sank by floating in a small
plastic crate 2012. This is from the story of Ryan Harris, 19, as he was thrown
into the Pacific Ocean near Sitka, when his two-man boat overturned in choppy
waters. He was rescued from the 4ft-by-4ft fish bin more than 24 hours
after the vessel sank, by a coastguard helicopter.
The finished product comes with two inflatable cushions for comfort. Fold able boats in action. Their designers envisage the tiny rowing boats being used by boat hire companies. ‘They are great to row in because they are very relaxing and comfortable. Instead of a seat each Fold boat comes with two cushions so the rower is always nice and comfy. ‘The flat version we imagine will be popular with people who want to hire the boats out as they can be stacked on top of each.
