ABSTRACT:
An inflatable boat includes a buoyant body having a pair of elongated lateral portions which are arcuately raised at both the bow region and the stern region thereof, a stern bulkhead connected to the lateral portions and extending between them, and a bottom which is water-tightly connected to the lateral portions and to the stern bulkhead and defines a compartment therewith. The lateral portions are constituted by inflatable tubular elements which are interconnected at the bow region of the inflatable boat by a rigid connecting element. The stern regions of the tubular elements extend beyond the stern bulkhead and arcuately converge toward one another in the rearward direction, being spaced from one another by a distance which at least corresponds to the maximum diameter of the tubular elements. A support element is mounted on the stern regions, and a rudder is mounted on the support element with freedom of movement relative thereto. A cover may be attached to the stern bulkhead and to the stern regions of the tubular elements to form an additional compartment therewith.
