ABSTRACT:
A boat is provided that has two configurations, a package configuration in which the boat is folded and nested into a compact package for transport and storage and a boat configuration in which the device is assembled into a rigid boat for operative use. The boat is separable into two or more transverse sections. Each section is divided into a port and a starboard portion which hingedly fold together to reduce the package width. The folded sections nest within one another to reduce the package length. The package configuration thereby has a shorter length and width than the boat configuration. Fastening devices are provided for securing the unfolded portions and sections together to provide a solid structure in the boat configuration.
