Everglades Challenge: Origami with Boat Parts

The 2019 Everglades Challenge is a month away, and my favorite skipper is finalizing this year's modifications to Spawn of Frankenscot, the 22-foot-long, OH-Rodgers-designed adventure boat that engages his attention this time of year.

The main change to the boat is the addition of hard wings that fold up for transport.

The rowing seat needed to scoot aft in the cockpit so that the sweeps could reach water, and Mr. Linton installed additional anti-slip devices like foot-straps and a slide stopper at the end of the wing (yellow safety rail, thank you Home Depot), all because the hard wings are quite a bit more slippery than the former racks were. 

But the wings are worth a quick look, I think. So here's a video.
