Just signed up for one. Should fit nicely into the M15 cabin, or under the cockpit seats. Might even be a good backrest against the hull side in cabin. Thanks for the heads up on this John. There's 45 hours left on the campaign as of 2:30 EDT 4/14/20; about 50 of them left. Cost $299, includes paddle. After the campaign their website says the price goes up to about $500. Weighs 28 lbs; set up time looks to be under 5 minutes, and no inflation or deflating involved. On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 2:00 PM < montgomery_boats-request@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

If you're looking for a compact one-person 'dinghy' that stores quite small this might fill the bill: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tucktec/tucktec-eco-folding-kayak
Different material and a couple feet shorter and a squatter shape than the original Oru folder.
cheers, John

Hi John,
Very cool new product! I have an older 10ft inflatable which works great as my tender with my M17, which stows conveniently down the side of a quarter berth. This looks like a similar sized new option for wrinkle boaters to consider...

Yeah, clever design.
I am still planning to make an Origami 6+ dinghy (slightly modified in bow design). But this stows even a bit smaller than that, in length anyhow. Not sure how viable it would be to deploy from an M17 cockpit but probably doable.
My concern is the bow (and stern) seems to have a fold-in triangle open at the top, with an open seam to the water facing forward. Sitting still or slow calm water, no problem. But I imagine even minor chop or motorboat wake would be enough to be forced into the boat, in dribbles at least, via that route. I just wrote the designer a question about that.
cheers, John
