Folding boat option - ORA
Permalink  

I came across a boat review on one of my favourite Kayak sites, for the ORA folding kayak.

 

Looking for more information, I goggled ORA and found to my surprise that it was listed in The Grey Nomads Leisure & Recreation page.

The one there looks like a rather iffy dingy.  If you look on the link below, it shows the 'sit in' Kayak style that generally gets good reviews from around the world.

Might be the go for those with limited storage space.  Probably fit easily in the back of any 4WD. and not very heavy.

The have an Australian outlet I think.

If your considering this style of kayak have a look at the Hobie inflatable kayak.

I have 3.4m tinny and would like a bigger one. Also have a 2.6m inflatable.(For saleif anybodies interested) Both are a compromise, but the tinnie is safer up north. I don,t feelsafe in a foldaboat with snappy handbags about. The tinnie is easy to launch and retrieve, and is also already setup for fishing, not likethe folder or the inflatable. Having a 4wd with a slide on , I can tow the tinnie. I built the trailer, so its strong.Everything is a compromise. Bill
