ABSTRACT:
A foldable boat has a hull divided into at least three sections; one of which includes at least one hull forming member. Each hull forming member has a bottom forming member with side forming members rotatably mounted thereon. Flexible members extend through the hull forming members and attach on the other remaining two sections of the hull. When the flexible members are pulled and fastened, the hull forming members are forced together thereby forming a hull. When the flexible members are not attached, the boat can be folded and transported easily. The side forming members are foldable flat against their respective bottom forming members and adjacent bottom forming members are foldable flat against each other to provide a compact folded configuration.
