No, the canoes and kayaks are fun in their own right, but I was looking for something more dinghy-like. The "Origami" comes closest (a Google search will reveal it to any who are interested), but it isn't the most lovely thing in the world. Clever, though, and perhaps a good departure point for further innovation.
I may have to follow Mac's example and build my own "deservedly unique" tender!
Maybe I'd better learn to swim, first...
Anyhow, I'm not even sure how to internet search for AR-period folding boats. I was hoping someone might have stumbled across AR's inspiration. Or perhaps no such design existed at all: perhaps he needed to depart from proven, commercial designs so that Mac's folder was appropriately tiddly to dunk the villains at the critical moment.
