Brace for folding transom

摘要

Collapsible boats with foldable rigid transoms and a brace for the transom are disclosed. A collapsible boat includes a collapsible hull formed from a plurality of panels that extend from a first end to a second end of the collapsible/inflatable boat. Each of the panels is connected with at least one the other panels. The collapsible hull is configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. A folding rigid transom is used to constrain at least two rear margins of the panels when the hull is in the expanded configuration. The folding rigid transom and seats remain attached to the hull when the hull is in the collapsed configuration. A collapsible boat can have one or more interior members that are inflatable to support the collapsible hull in the expanded configuration.

1. A boat comprising:
a collapsible hull having a first end and a second end, the hull comprising a plurality of panels extending between the first end and the second end, each of the panels being connected with at least one other of the panels, the hull configurable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration; a folding rigid transom to constrain at least two rear margins of the panels when the hull is in the expanded configuration, the folding rigid transom remaining attached to the hull when the hull is in the collapsed configuration; a seat connected with the hull; and a brace removably attached to at least one of the rigid folding transom or the seat, the brace connected between and suspended between the seat and the folding rigid transom when the hull is in the expanded configuration such that the brace is supported independent of the plurality of panels.
