MyCanoe 2.5

MyCanoe is "the world’s first origami canoe"
This 14-foot long beautiful Canadian-style open canoe can be folded into a 96cm x 46cm smart suitcase like box, portable and small enough to be stashed into a car boot, stored in campervans and motorhomes, or be taken on coaches, trains and planes. This canoe can make nature more readily accessible for outdoor explorers. This canoe is not intended to be a serious river running type of boat, rather is a touring canoe that is a step up providing a better paddling experience than what you will normally get from inflatable canoes. Use on flat water rivers, lakes and canals, and possibly some low level rapids.

An unique feature that this canoe has that possibly no other canoe has is that the MyCanoe has an adjustable rocker - either have no rocker for straight line touring / power paddling or some rocker (more curved keel) for twisting narrow streams. Difference is between 5-6cm at the bow and stern. The degree of rocker is achieved through the tightening of the webbing straps (4 each side) situated along the top of the gunwales.


MyCanoe is made of a ultra tough 5mm thick polypropylene corrugated plastic cardboard with hinges along the folds, which are durable to withstand up to 20,000 times of folding and unfolding. The whole hull comprises of a single piece of polypropylene with two separate reinforcement floorboard pieces which double up as the outer covers of the suitcase style box when folded.

A patented, award winning, TUV certified, high quality origami concept folding canoe. The custom polypropylene is UV treated to last 15 years.

Folding up (make box) in 5 minutes, unfolding (make canoe) in 10 minutes, the canoe is easy and safe for everyone. Built for longevity. Times are for one person - with two people, it will be quicker!
