ABSTRACT:
A novel permanent-assembly kayak is disclosed having a framework and a hard skin of dimensionally stable sheet material unified with the framework to achieve strength and mechanical stability greater than that which results from the separate effects of the hard skin and the framework. The component parts may be packaged compactly as a kit that may be shipped and stored in inventory economically; greatly elongated frame members are formed of pipe lengths and cores that are telescopically assembled, each part being short enough for compact packaging. The hard-skin material is intrinsically stiff, yet it is sufficiently yielding to be rolled up in the compact package.
