Abstract
The present invention relates to a collapsible multi-hulled vessel capable of opening and collapsing with line(s). The vessel sails in full width, open position yet collapses to sufficient size to permit easy transport and storage. The mast and rigging remain intact during the opening and collapsing procedure thereby further easing the change. Central hinging, containment doors, and containment door latching mechanisms provide added ease of operation and security.
