Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a semi-rigid inflatable boat.
  • the main object of the invention is to provide an inflatable boat which is capable of operating in a very satisfactory and entirely positive manner in difficult navigational conditions; and a secondary object of the invention is to introduce numerous improvements and novel ideas in shape and structure of an inflatable boat such as to confer on it considerable properties of a functional nature. A further object of the invention is to introduce additional improvements as far as passenger convenience and comfort are concerned.
  • a semi-rigid inflatable boat characterised in that it comprises a robust V-keel in glass-reinforced plastics resin, to which is attached a resistant inflatable and deflatable structure constituting the upper part of the boat.
  • the inflatable boat of the invention is of the semi-rigid type, that is to say constituted by a robust V-keel in glass-reinforced plastics resin, to which is fitted a resistant structure in rubberised fabric which is inflatable and deflatable in a rapid and secure manner.
  • the said rubberised fabric inflatable structure preferably comprises two tubular elements which are joined together at a rather square prow and terminate with shortened and rounded rear ends so as to increase the buoyancy and the load-carrying capacity of the boat with respect to similar such boats of equal length but terminating with the usual cones.
  • the said rigid keel allows, in relation to the size of the individual boat, the creation of spaces, a forepeak and, possibly, comfortable seats and lockers for the stowage of equipment.
  • the boat is also preferably provided with a plurality of hand grips or handles, conveniently also made in rubberised fabric, located in pairs, and positioned on the upper surfaces of the tubular elements Selected regions of the inflatable structure, such as the regions where handles are fitted and the region where users (e.g. divers) climb into the boat from the water are conveniently protected by the presence of adequate strips of reinforcing rubberised fabric on the outer surface of the tubular elements.
  • foot boards in glass-reinforced plastics resin to the rear of the boat close to the transom, and supplementary handles one on each side on the tubular elements on a surface thereof facing towards the opposite tubular element.
  • the preferred colour is bright red both for the rigid keel and for the rubberised fabric inflatable parts, which renders the boat visible from a great distance making it easier for it to be seen and found if necessary.
  • the boat shown is an inflatable boat having a keel 1 of plastics material such as GRP (Glass Reinfored Plastics) having a double skin and shaped as a shell with a decidedly accentuated V-prow 1 ⁇ at one end and a transom 15 at the other, and depending on the dimensions of the boat, can include spaces, a forepeak and, possibly, lockers for the stowage of equipment.
  • GRP Glass Reinfored Plastics
  • This keel 1 can support suitably shaped seats 2, again in glass-reinforced plastics resin, and, at the rear, a motor (not shown), as well as one or two footboards 3, (also in glass-­reinforced plastics resin) the purpose of which is to facilitate boarding the vessel when climbing out of the water.
  • the keel 1 is further provided with a robust instrument panel 4, again in glass-reinforced plastics resin, complete with appropriate remote controls for the engine and a steering wheel 5 preferably in stainless steel.
  • a thwart 14 (shown in broken outline in Figure 1) may also be provided if desired for seating additional passengers. As can be seen the seats 2 are comfortably shaped to support a user.
  • the inflatable structure includes two tubular elements 6 which are joined together at the forward end by a transversely extending prow member 6 ⁇ , and at the rear end are shortened and have rounded ends 6 ⁇ so as to confer on the boat a greater load carrying capacity with respect to similar boats of the same length having conventional tubular elements with normal elongate stern cones.
  • the upper parts of the tubular elements 6 are fitted with a number of pairs of hand grips 7 made in rubberised fabric, which offer an excellent gripping point during use of the boat.
  • These handles are formed as upstanding inverted U-shape elements which can be grasped easily by an occupant to steady himself during use.
  • Two individual handles 8, one on each side of the boat, again in rubberised fabric, are provided on the tubular elements of the rear thereof to facilitate climbing out of the water.
  • the regions of the tubular elements where both the pairs of handles 7 and the individual handles 8 are fitted are well protected by the application of strips of rubberised fabric 9 and 10 respectively, which reinforce the tubular elements.
