Maarno Is A Folding Boat Made Of One Piece Of Plastic

We don’t own a boat. It’s on the list of the things to do, but we’re not quite ready to break out another thousand when we have friends for that. Where are you going to park it in a big metropolitan area? Who’s going to take care of dry dock maintenance? Which side is port? Starboard? Ahoy! Normally, we’d leave the work aspect of boat ownership to the trained professionals, but we’re going to make a special exception for Maarno–formerly known as Foldboat. The name Foldboat is pretty self-explanatory. It’s a rowboat that folds from a standard sheet of plastic and can be assembled by a single person, in under 5 minutes, using only 3 pieces. Unfortunately, it’s going to be a while before you can put your origami folding skills to work because this is just a concept at this point.
