Abstract (en)

A boat having a rigid hull (1) and an inflatable structure (6,6') attached to its rim comprises two generally tubular elements (6) of approximately circular cross section having short rounded ends (6'') and being joined at the forward end by a transverse tubular element (6'). The upper surface of the tubular elements is provided with a number of grab handles (7,8) and the tubular elements (6) are themselves reinforced by additional layers of rubberised fabric (9) in the region of the grab handles (7,8), and further reinforced by panels (10) in the region of the vessel where divers may be expected to climb into it out of the water. A thick rubber strake (11) extends around the outer perimeter of the boat and acts as a fender and as a spray guard, and above the strake there are provided a plurality of lifting shackles (12), whilst the prow of the rigid keel (1) is fitted with a stainless steel towing ring (13) and has, at the rear, in the region between the two tubular inflatable elements, two foot boards (3) to assist in climbing into the boat out of the water.
