ABSTRACT:
This invention is related to a knock down semi-rigid, inflatable canoe in general and to a knock down canoe that folds transversally in the middle. Many knock down boats have been proposed and although most of them perform their primary objective of being easy to store, they are usually not practical to carry and sometimes safety problems occur when they capsize. Completely inflatable canoes with an inflatable bottom have been proposed. This bottom tends to be at the mercy of striking obstructions that can damage it, causing deflation. Also the inflatable feature of the bottom limits the number of shapes it can take. Inflatable boats with V or U shapes at the two ends and with flat bottom have been proposed, they are at the mercy of side winds and are less maneuverable. They do not have a hull with a Canadian or canoe like shape.
