There is provided an assembleable boat made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) including a bottom wall assembly; a left side wall assembly; a right side wall assembly; and a front wall assembly. the bottom wall assembly, the back wall assembly, the left side wall assembly, the right wall assembly, and the front wall assembly are mechanically connected to form the assembleable boat; and each of the bottom wall assembly, the left side wall assembly, the right wall assembly, and the front wall assembly is made of FRP.

A method of stowing a boat is disclosed. The boat may include three hull segments, namely a first hull segment, a second hull segment, and a third hull segment. The third hull segment may form the bow of the boat. The method may include separating the third hull segment from the other hull segments. Thereafter, one of the first hull segment and the second hull segment may be pivoted and inverted over onto the other such that the first hull segment and the second hull segment collectively form a clamshell enclosure. The relative sizing of the first, second, and third hull segments may be such that the third hull segment may be stored within an interior volume of the enclosure.

A dinghy constructed of two separable sections, being a front and a rear section, and a connection means adapted to join the two sections together. The front section has a rear bulkhead, the rear section has a front bulkhead the connection means integral with the bulkheads. One of the bulkheads includes sleeves, the other bulkhead rods adapted to engage the sleeves to thereby connect the dinghy together.

A lower deck for a watercraft is attached to and supported by an amidships hull, and an actuator slides the lower deck and amidships hull between a stowed position and an extended position on rails that are secured to the underside frame of the upper deck that is supported by abeam hulls. When fully extended, the lower deck remains attached to the watercraft while a portion of the lower deck's aft section remains beneath the upper deck. A hold within the amidships hull can store accessories used with the watercraft, such as live wells, tables, seats, a foldable slide and ladder assembly, and other items which can be accessed and deployed when the lower deck is extended. The holds are covered by panels which may be individual separable panels, a foldable set of connected panels, or laterally expandable panels. The lower deck can have foldable handrails and recessed cup holders.

A passenger transportation complex parent-subsidiary mobile carrier includes a parent carrier and at least one subsidiary carrier. The parent carrier has a parent carrying section. The subsidiary carrier has a subsidiary carrying section. The parent carrier includes a first connection section and the subsidiary carrier includes a second connection section releasably mated and connected with the first connection section. At least a part of the parent carrying section and at least a part of the subsidiary carrying section are mated and connected with each other and positioned on the same plane so that the parent carrier and the subsidiary carrier are connected to together form the complex carrier as an integrated assembly to move together or separate from each other to respectively move.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inflatable craft and to the inflatable craft thus obtained. The craft being of the canoe type and including at least one float that includes an inflatable portion providing flotation and a textile envelope. The textile envelope receives the inflatable portion and provides the shape and the mechanical strength of the float.

An extendable and retractable lower deck for a watercraft is attached to and supported by one or more amidships hulls. The lower deck and hulls slide between an extended position and a stowed position on rails that are secured to the underside frame of the main, upper deck that is supported by abeam hulls. When fully extended, the extendable deck remains attached to the watercraft. A rotatable gate positioned within the lower hull can be used for improved accessibility to and from the water; the gate is stowed when its distal end is in the raised position and is deployed when its distal end extends below the bottom side of the hull into the water in the lowered position. Laterally expandable panels in the lower deck provide increased width, and other accessories used with the watercraft can be contained in one or more storage holds in the amidships hull.

Watercraft with dual, in-line flotation are detailed. Front and rear floats may be bridged by a seating assembly and allow both feet-up and feet-down positioning of a user of the craft. The watercraft may be disassembled and then reassembled compactly for transport or storage, with the compactly reassembled craft including wheels or capable of being placed onto a hand trolley if desired to facilitate its carriage. Also detailed are watercraft in which forward flotation is provided by two front floats forming a pontoon configuration.
