How I wish I had a boat and I would go around the world sailing on it. Many of us would love to do just that...but then let's get back to reality and let's build our own boat instead...Ok...I am kidding...So what if we cannot build our own boat...let's make one with a paper and let our creativity sail with it. Here's an easy tutorial for all the kids and all the little kids within us...learn to make an origami twin sailboat.

Just ending with a quote by one very famous Architect:
"Every year I spend one month just sailing, but I still work when I'm on the boat. You never separate work from leisure. A boat is like a magic world, like a little island." Renzo Piano
