One of the many, great characteristics of Folbots is that they are so easily modified with common tools. If you're reasonably good with a ruler, a hacksaw and a drill, you can make many custom mods to your boat. Those who have sewing skills can do even more.

I'm no good at sewing, but I have had great success with mechanical mods, ranging from as simple as adding a Velcro strip to corral loose tubing ends, to adjustable footrests that double as rudder controls. The mods below, with variations, can apply to any Folbot.
