This year's Origami USA challenge was ships (sailing ships, not space ships unless I remember it wrong). I wanted to make mine a bit more interesting, and there's nothing quite like a giant squid to spice things up. The Kraken is a legendary sea monster, most often thought to resemble a giant squid. (See Kraken on Wikipedia ). Also pirates may know a thing or two about the Kraken. Although I tried many different designs, this one here is the prototype for the CP I finally decided upon. I favor it over the others because of the handy way the sails are formed, using trapezoid molecules.
