Her experience is anomalous.  I'm a very happy Greenland II owner (fourth
season).  She allows in her postings that she is NOT mechanically inclined.

Lots of others like and use successfully folding boats.  Folbots cost half

Not as fancy, but they work.

Sample the dialog on the Folbot Forum (http://www.folbot.com/yak.htm) to see
what others think.
