ABSTRACT:
A collapsible raft includes opposed hinged rigid hull and deck members joined by a flexible watertight skirt and surrounded by a peripheral inflatable tube. The hinge plates interconnecting the hull and deck may be selectively locked in an open condition. In the preferred form, the hull and deck members each include a water sealable hatch and appropriately valved ventilator tubes that render the raft invertible and serve to protect the occupant(s) from drowning and exposure. A second form of the invention is embodied in a pleasure craft wherein the deck is open and includes a seating arrangement and provision for mounting an outboard motor.
