Any designs for a foldable kayak?

Does anyone know of any designs/plans for building a foldable kayak? I'm interested in something along the lines of a Feathercraft Khatsalano. I found a personal website in Germany of a couple of brothers who had each built their own take-aparts, and one was a Greenland style very similar to the Khatsalano. From perusing his site, I got the impression that it was his own design, but I wrote to him in the hope that maybe plans are available. But, if anyone else has some info on available plans (or other resources), I'd appreciate any info. Right now I'm just investigating the possibilities, so I'm not committed to any particular construction method (wood vs aluminum vs ???).

Thank!

Ross
