Abstract:
A boat comprising:a linear fore-and-aft alignment of a plurality of floatable hull sections, each section comprising a bottom, a pair of opposed sides and a transverse bulkhead, and having a forward end and an aft end, and having extending between said forward and aft ends at least one rigid member, each said rigid member having a respective terminal end adjacent each of said forward end and aft end; said rigid members being disposed on each of said respective hull sections such that when said hull sections are linearly aligned said rigid members are correspondingly linearly aligned, such that pairs of opposed terminal ends of a rigid members are disposed in facing relationships on respective adjacent hull sections; at least one rigid elongated linear shank member; each said shank member spanning between a pair of facing terminal ends and cooperating therewith to form a releasable rigid, load bearing coupling between said adjacent sections; such that cooperation between each respective shank member and pair of facing terminal ends for all said hull sections couples said hull sections into a rigid, load bearing unitary boat.
