30 Is assembly of folding kayaks difficult? How long does it take?

Much depends on the model. Some can be assembled in about 10 to 15
minutes once you get the hang of it. Others can take a half hour or
more. For the record, the fastest assembly of a folding kayak, a
double Klepper, is a little over 4 minutes starting from the parts
being in their bags.

It should be noted that you don't have to assemble and disassemble a
folding kayak around each outing. They can be left assembled for years
if you have a place to store them that way. They can be cartopped like
any hardshell. Storage and cartopping will do no harm to the boats.
