This new concept of a folding paddle blade and NO-PARTS Emergency Flood Craft was
developed immediately following inefficiencies
of the system in dealing with the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina, 08/29/05. – - – - -
With a 35 second assembly, and a 12 second
dis-assembly, the light weight emergency craft
may be stored in a small vehicle’s trunk for a spur of the moment fishing spot, – or can be stored in an apartment, or closet, or under the bed for a
quick response to an emergency flood situation. – - – - – Several models include folding units with attached folding oars as a means of propulsion, and with some being designed for stacking several dozen
emergency water crafts upon a single
pallet for retail display, or storage. See ( More from pioneerpaddler ) – - – - – One of the biggest targeted markets may include the same unit being stored within any basement as a stand-by protection to dry-keep any especially valuable items during a sump pump failure or potential flood situation. – Most of our designs will store in
most any closet or basement corner, and which needs only 4 inches by 32 inches by 48 inches of storage space. – The term “NO PARTS” means exactly that. . . No hardware, elastic cords, tools or fasteners needed for its 35 second and less assembly. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -The very same water craft shown in the video has also held 2 persons with a car battery and electric trolling motor and full ice chest and fishing rods on many lazy day outings to cruise the lake shown in the video for at least 3 to 5 hours per event. – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – -
Not All Versions Are Shown.
Several more in the works on paper. –

e-mail from W.L. . . .
I think these are great and ideal for emergency teams.
I would be interested in procuring a couple of these for our
local emergency scuba team.
- Rescue instructor Program director – in reply to: Mr. W. L.; -
No, the emergency water crafts are not yet available . . .
Commandant Heinz, a chief officer of the U.S.C.G. evaluated other videos from the viewpoint of a
craft being used within open seas or basically in the middle of the ocean, and where that is
his job to have that perspective. He did like one of our versions, but hesitated to perceive the
craft being used as an open ocean environment rescue craft; and ultimately suggested the
craft remain as a recreational craft without further and first hand examination.
All water crafts, and especially an emergency water craft must begin with the U.S.C.G. testing
and rating their weight limits.
We do envision the craft meeting U.S.C.G. requirements as an inner coastal emergency water craft…
Myself and my two sons weigh about 450 pounds total. All three of us have
stood up within one version, and rocked it violently from side to side without going overboard.
Within the “no-parts”version, and other units which did not have elastic cords; we have
pushed all 4 sidewalls outward and downward to within 1 inch of the water’s surface without capsizing.
Envision dozens of the folded units being stacked on a single pallet for
storage or retail sales display, and where the end consumer unfolds the unit to
tear off or cut off the flat folding oars to insert within the sidewalls of the fully assembled water craft; and all without using any tools or parts, other than
possibly needing a pocket knife. ( The material is much tougher than it looks, and so does not tear away as easily as we thought it would in its perforated
attachment to the flat unfolded structure.) But my personal goal is to see an emergency craft with an attached means of propulsion which does not require any other
part or tool (pocket knife); and so, we are still working on that
particular concept of a pallet stacked with “no-parts” water crafts with their attached means of propulsion; ( the flat folding oars ).
In the video which shows 4 units with means of propulsion being deployed from a 5th water craft, you will hear chuckles of amazement as our camera person
and others on shore view the 4 emergency water crafts being deployed within 55 seconds. The most amazing part of that video is that any of the 4 units will stack
within any of the others.
Summarily, we are seeking a manufacturer /investor to take charge and
financially delegate the proper course.
– thank you, and congratulations on your ability to envision potential . . .
