Folding dinghy made from flexible panels - has stern and bows folding inwards and sides on top to form flat pack

摘要

The lightweight folding dinghy is made up of a set of rectangular panels (5 to 8) which form the main part of the hull, the central one (2) being narrower than the rest, a further set of panels forming the bows, and a third set forming the stern. The set forming the bows includes a narrow central strip (3), trapezoidal sections (15, 16) and outer triangular sections (11, 12), whilst the set forming the stern similarly shaped sections. The whole is resilient, and the bows and stern fold over inwards, while the sides of hull fold over on top of stern, then the whole is folded over down the middle to form a rectangular package in teh completely folded condition. A keel is incorporated in the main hull section.
