CA 2233152

A collapsible boat having a framework comprising forward and aft keel member portions, forward and aft port and starboard gunwale member portions, forward and aft port and starboard stringer member portions, and a plurality of cross-rib members. The keel, gunwale and stringer member portions are joined by interconnecting members into aligned longitudinal members that are also interconnected to the cross-rib members to create forward and aft hull sections. A keel locking and tensioning mechanism is used to join together the forward and aft hull sections at the keel to define a hull framework having elongate keel, gunwale and stringer members that extend longitudinally between a bow and stern and that are spaced and braced by transversely extending cross-rib members. A rocker adjustment system in the gunwale member portions joins the forward and aft gunwale members and permits variation of the elevation of the bow and stern of the framework by adjusting the overall length of the gunwale member portions. The framework is insertable into a flexible water impermeable skin to create a boat with adjustable handling characteristics suitable for use in a wide variety of sailing conditions and environments.

Embarcation pliante dont l'ossature comprend des sections de quille avant et arrière, des sections de plat-bord avant et arrière et gauche et droite, des sections de serre avant et arrière et gauche et droite, et une série de nervures en croix. Les sections de quille, de plat-bord et de lisse sont jointes par des raccords engagés dans des pièces longitudinales alignées qui sont également jointes aux serres pour former les sections de coque avant et arrière. Un mécanisme de verrouillage et de tendage sert à joindre les sections de coque avant et arrière au niveau de la quille pour créer une ossature de coque à sections de quille, de sabord et de plat-bord allongées, qui se prolongent longitudinalement entre la proue et la poupe, et qui sont espacées et ancrées au moyen de nervures transversales. Un système de réglage du giron dans les sections de plat-bord est relié aux parties de plat-bord avant et arrière et permet de modifier l'élévation de la poupe et de la proue de l'ossature en réglant la longueur totale des sections de plat-bord. L'ossature s'insère dans une enveloppe flexible imperméable à l'eau afin de créer une embarcation ayant des caractéristiques de maniabilité réglables, qui convient à une grande variété de conditions et de milieux de navigation.
