An inflatable watercraft includes an upper wall, a lower wall connected to the upper wall so as to form a bottom main body, an inner wall extended longitudinally, and an outer wall also extended longitudinally. The inner wall, the outer wall and the upper wall are connected to form a tubular body around the bottom main body. Alternatively, the inner wall, the outer wall and the lower wall are connected to form a tubular body around the bottom main body. When deflated, the tubular body collapses due to gravity so that the outer wall is superposed on the inner wall.

The present disclosure relates generally to knee braces for boats. The knee braces described herein are particularly suitable for use with lightweight, inflatable rafts and kayaks, for example packrafts used in backcountry boating. The knee braces include a fabric body and a plurality of adjustable straps configured to attach the fabric body to a side wall of the boat.

An inflatable carrying device of watercraft by a single human carrier comprising one or more inflatables having a shape to enable it to be secured to one or both shoulders of the carrier, and a shear and tensile strength to support at least in part the watercraft. Various embodiments of the inflatables include an incurvate side about 240-300 degrees to secure to the shoulders, a length extending at least transversely across the seating area of the watercraft, a length about the width of one shoulder of the carrier, and a height to provide forward visibility for the carrier to avoid obstacles. The device makes possible single human transport of watercraft which lack a design structure for solo transport such as a kayak having a cockpit and a sit-on-top kayak.

An inflatable device for water self-rescue comprising one or more buoyant inflatables having a substantial size and shape to secure to one or both lower extremities of a self-rescuer, or to one or both shoulders of a single human carrier for transport of watercraft for another embodiment. Shapes of the various inflatable embodiments include an incurvate side, triangular prism, streamlined, and to encompass a portion of the lower extremity. Embodiments include one or more straps to secure the inflatable to the lower extremity, another inflatable, or the watercraft. The device secured to the lower extremity increases water-area and buoyancy to more effectively engage the lower body muscles while performing a standard or similar self-rescue maneuver to aid reboarding watercraft or swimming to safety. The device makes possible single human transport of watercraft which lack a design structure for solo transport such as a kayak.

An inflatable dinghy includes a drop stitch inflatable floor made of high pressure drop stitch material; port and starboard drop stitch inflatable sides made of high-pressure drop stitch material attached at outside edges of the drop stitch inflatable floor, respectively; a rigid bow mold attached to the drop stitch inflatable floor and drop stitch inflatable sides; and a rigid stern transom attached to the drop stitch inflatable floor and drop stitch inflatable sides. The inflatable dinghy includes only three separate air compartments including the drop stitch inflatable floor and the drop stitch inflatable sides.
