Sectional canoe

摘要

A boat having at least two separate, shape-retaining sections, each section including a transversely disposed, vertical wall, each wall including a top edge and a bottom edge, each bottom edge being coterminus with a bottom surface of the boat. One vertical wall includes a plurality of narrow, elongated, vertical, wedge-shaped slots, each slot having sides converging in a downward direction from the top of the vertical wall. Each slot terminates in a bottom end which is spaced from the bottom edge of the vertical wall. The other vertical wall includes a plurality of narrow, elongated, vertical, projecting wedges, each wedge having sides converging in a downward direction from the top of the wall. Each wedge terminates in a bottom tip, the tip being spaced from the bottom edge of the wall. The wedges cooperate with the slots to join the sections together in end-to-end relationship such that the walls are held together contiguously to form a bulkhead in the boat. The tips of the wedges abut the bottom ends of the slots to serve as positive stops for joining the sections together in given relative vertical dispositions.
