Abstract:
An additional chamber to watercraft that adds both volume and curvature to other compartments or components of the watercraft that are essentially flat is described. The additional chamber provides for modular construction of watercraft for creating volumetric space as well as a curved surface to the outer portion of the watercraft. The chamber advantageously increases the aesthetic appeal of the watercraft as well as provides a surface on which water is discouraged from pooling or collecting on. Various watercrafts having such a chamber are also described.

Claim (Index 2):
An inflatable watercraft, comprising:\n a first inflatable compartment comprising a first layer of material and a second layer of material connected together by way of drop stitches in a manner to provide a first surface of each of the first and second layers of material facing one another and a second surface of each of the first and second layers facing away from one another; optionally, one or more additional reinforcing layers of material provided on top of the second surface of the first and/or second layers; a second inflatable compartment comprising a third layer of material attached to the first layer of material and configured to provide one or more concave surface facing the second surface of the first layer of material such that when the second compartment is inflated gas contained in the second compartment contacts the one or more concave surface of the third layer of material and contacts the second surface of the first layer of material or one of the additional reinforcing layers, if implemented; wherein the second inflatable compartment has a non-bifurcated portion disposed as the bow of the watercraft and a bifurcated portion disposed as the top port and starboard sides of the watercraft.
