It is homebuilt and foldable, like the blue one just right of the white one (fifth photo from top).

For a story of Volker Born, the builder, see http://www.pouchboats.com/volker_born.html (part of the Amateur Folding Boat Builders Corner).

And yes, Volkers boats *are* gorgeous (I paddled both with him and his boats). And the good news is: he is willing to build more of them (for a price, though and if he's got enough time).

Cheers,
