ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a collapsible boat. The boat is comprised of a flexible water-tight hull-and-deck skin including a deckside cockpit aperture; a bow and forward frame unit for insertion through the aperture toward the bow of the hull-and-deck skin; and a transom and aft frame unit for insertion through the aperture toward the stern of the hull-and-deck skin. A central tensioning unit is provided for insertion through the aperture, the tensioning unit cooperates with the bow and forward frame unit and the transom and aft frame unit so as to simultaneously urge the bow and forward frame unit and the transom and aft unit apart to thereby stretch and tension the hull-and-deck skin. A rigid case assembly is provided for insertion into the aperture and cooperates with the bow and forward frame unit, the transom and aft frame unit and the tensioning unit, the case forming a cockpit for the boat.
