ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel portable lightweight boat ramp. The boat ramp is made up of two metal frame halves which open from the inside out, to form a V-shape angle matching the contour of a small boat approaching the beach area for landing. Each metal frame half is covered by a flat panel, made of strong and durable material, and each flat panel is covered in turn by a thin layer of frictionless material, so as to prevent the device from scratching the hull of the landing boat. In addition, four legs are hinged to the two metal frame halves, and are deployed to an obtuse angle with respect to the metal frame halves when the device is opened up for receiving an incoming boat for landing.
