The 'Nanoyacht' is an innovatively designed and engineered modular boat that is designed to make it possible to assemble and dismantle the boat depending on the environment and situation.
In order to do this, the 'Nanoyacht' makes use of a nesting mechanism that uses different box-like components. All variants of the 'Nanoyacht' include these box-shaped modules as well as a steel frame. The modules can nest inside one another before being assembled together when it's time to get on the water. The makers of the 'Nanoyacht' claim that assembling the boat takes between five to 15 minutes and can be done by one person on their own.
This unique modular boat is the subject of an Indiegogo campaign, with pledges starting at $1,399.
