The main tube sections carrying the weight on the ODC are straight, so the points remain level and slightly above water with one or both legs straight-bent. Swinging the main body trunk can shift the points slightly and comes in handy when needing to clear ledges-obstacles. There are only 2 pieces of wood to be packed, 2- 24" side struts with attached clamping hardware at 2# total, fits almost all small suitcases or packs. The 1#, 36" footbar can be scrounged on location from downed branches or bought for $2 at the closest Walmart.
Pictures also take time and generate questions.
Thanks for the link, but Zephyrboat design represents a step backwards in terms of design compared to a "V" or pontoon, IMHO. Poor comfort, no adjustable seat back position, no easy step in-out or on off, non bailing muddy floors and cleanup, no built in tackle bags, etc... Still, some people like them, and to each his own.
