Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0118305A1] A boat (1,50) of rigid polyurethane foam construction comprises a hollow stem portion (2) and two side buoyancy members (3, 4) extending from the stem portion (2) to the stern (5) of the boat (1). A transverse portion (7) extending between the side members (3, 4) forms a seat (8). An opening (10) is provided through the boat (1) so that an operator may pass his feet through to engage the ground and carry the boat (1) from one location to another using hand grips (11) on opposed sides of the opening (10). Recesses (12) in the stem portion (2) form foot rests (13) so that an operator sitting on the seat (8) spans the opening (10) with his legs. The underside of the transverse portion (7) forming the seat (8) is inclined downwardly towards the stern (5) of the boat (1) at 14 to prevent splashing of the operator. A transom member (15) is provided for receiving an outboard motor and a well (16) for a water-tight box is also provided in the stem portion (2). The boat (1) which can be used in shallow waters is versatile, stable, has maximum buoyancy with minimum draught and may be easily carried by an operator from one location to another.
