ABSTRACT:
A kayak or similar watercraft includes a releasable deck section that allows the operator to easily evacuate the craft during an emergency. A flange on the removable deck section interlocks with a flange on the hull of the watercraft. Forward pressure exerted by the operator on the releasable deck section causes the deck section to slide forward until it is no longer interlocked with the hull flange, thereby releasing the deck section from the watercraft. The purpose of the invention is to facilitate entry into and emergency exits from the watercraft.
