ABSTRACT:
Collapsible kayak framework having a plurality of longitudinal members, formers and cockpit structure, which cockpit structure, when folded forms a portion of backpack frame. Longitudinal members extend between the bow and stern, and are releasably interconnected by the formers and the cockpit structure. Mid portions of the keelson, chine and gunwale member portions are interconnected so as to form two halves of a foldable cockpit structure, which halves are maintained apart when in the cockpit structure by releasable transverse deck members. The mid portions are hinged to each other for swinging together to form a compact frame forming basis of the backpack frame. When the structure is folded, the spaced transverse deck members extend downwardly from one gunwale member mid portion, lower ends of the deck members carrying ends of shoulder straps, and a belt portion to permit the complete folded kayak structure to be carried on a person's back.
