Abstract

A foldable system is described. The system includes a panel (110) consisting of at least two layers, a first flexible layer (114) and a second non-flexible layer (112), the first and the second layer being attached to each other such that they form a whole, the panel including folds (120), the folds (120) being applied in the second layer (112) such that the panel can be folded into a predetermined shape. In addition, the first flexible layer includes material with a higher melting temperature than the melting temperature of the second layer.

Abstract

A watertight foldable system, the system comprising a watertight panel (110) in which folds (120) have been made such that the panel may be folded from a flat state into an open-top watercraft such as for example a canoe, the panel (110) comprising a set of folds such that the watercraft, after it has been folded into watercraft, has a bottom having a flat profile in longitudinal direction or having a convex profile relative to the watercraft.
