Abstract:
1. A watercraft comprising: a plurality of separable body sections configured for assembling into a single assembled structure having a first length, and for packing into a packed structure having a second length smaller than the first length, said plurality of separable body sections comprising a first body section and a second body section, the first body section comprising an exterior surface and an interior surface defining a cavity with an opening, wherein the second body section is dimensioned such that at least part of the second body section is locatable inside the cavity of the first body section to form the packed structure, wherein the first body section comprises a first inner end, an opposing first outer end and a first intermediate portion between the first inner end and the first outer end, and the second body section comprises a second inner end, an opposing second outer end and a second intermediate portion between the second inner end and the second outer end, and wherein the second inner end is adjacent to the first inner end when said plurality of separable body sections form the single assembled structure, wherein the second outer end and at least part of the second intermediate portion are locatable inside the cavity when said plurality of separable body sections form the packed structure, the watercraft further comprising: a locking assembly configured for securing the first inner end to the second inner end when said plurality of separable body sections form the single assembled structure, wherein the locking assembly comprises: when the locking clamp is operated in the first position, the first end of the first clamp part is caused to engage with the first mating block and the second end of the second clamp part is configured to apply an urging force on the second mating block against the first mating block for securing the first inner end to the second inner end; and when the locking clamp is operated in the second position, the first end of the first clamp part is disengaged from the first mating block, allowing the second mating block to be separated from the first mating block.
