remember clearly, you could put this boat on your roof. They made mention on
the site that it was tested by dropping it from a high height into the
ocean... I think it was a little long for the vanagon roof though... but its
been a while...
Look at Folbot, www.folbot.com, an excellent folding kayak. It has an open
design so it has some canoe features. There are also US and Canadian
folding canoes but the folding kayaks do better for most applications. I
have two Folbots, a single & a double ( & severeral other kayaks) and they
work well with a Westy. You can carry them assembled on a rack or inside in
bags, good for security.

85 Westy, several kayaks, kids bicycles & other stuff....
