Actually, yes!  I bought a used one about 8 years ago.  Beautiful
boat, but way too complicated.  Think twice the time to build as the
Aerius II.  The boat isn't all that big (I think about 12' long), and is
too much of a compromise.  Sails ok, rows ok, motors (small hp) ok.

  Also fairly heavy if I recall properly.  

  The sail takes a long time to install properly.  But basically, just
too many pieces!  Some boats are better off just being non-folding!

  I sold mine shortly after I bought it.  Might be worth keeping if you
like collecting.  These are pretty rare boats.
