Floating Origami

The Origami Folding Dinghy also has the ability to be converted from a row-boat, to a sailing vessel or an outboard powered vessel. While under sail, the Origami can slip smoothly through the water at about 7 knots. If a motor is more your style, both the 6ft and 8ft models can carry up to a 3.3hp motor. Speeds have been reported up to 15 knots.
