[0032] The collapsible boat 10 has support means at the bow 12 and the stern 14 . The support means for the stern 14 is according to the first embodiment of the invention and will therefore be described first.

[0033] The stern 14 includes a first member in the form of a rear seat 22 . The rear seat 22 extends between the port side 16 and starboard 18 sides and is rigidly attached to each side side 16, 18 using releasable connection means.

[0034] The rear seat 22 has two protrusions in the form of a longitudinal bar 24 extending from the rear seat 22 towards the stern 14 . The rod 24 is mounted on the transom 26 of the boat 10 . The structure is such that, in use, the forces and vibrations emanating from the outboard motor mounted on the transom 26 can be transmitted through the bar 24 and rear seat 22 to the side wales 16,18. This is in stark contrast to previous collapsible boats where forces and vibrations are transferred to the hull through the transom 26 . This gen...

Abstract

A means for bracing a boat, such as a collapsible boat, is described. The means for bracing includes a first member which extends between one side of the boat and the other, and at least one second member extending between a bottom panel and the first member. The first member is rigid, the second member may be rigid or may be formed from flexible cables. The second member is generally held in tension, and acts to restrict the movement of its associated bottom panel in at least one direction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to support devices for small boats. In particular, the invention relates to support means for collapsible boats, such as those formed from panels hinged together. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for supporting a boat when such a boat is in an erected configuration to provide rigidity and rigidity. Background technique [0002] Collapsible boats are known which have a hull formed essentially from a plurality of plates hinged together. Such a dinghy can be folded into a substantially flat configuration for transport and storage, and then unfolded into a suitable hull shape for use on the water. The present applicant describes one such collapsible boat in US patent application Ser. No. 11 / 282,128, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] In conventional boat designs, stiffness and rigidity, including torsional stiffness, are obtained by providing ribs extending laterally across ...
