Abstract

A demountable boat assembly 10, eg of catermaran form, comprises a mast 11 which is removably attachable to a body structure 12. The mast 11 and the body 12 are formed from multiple elements 13,17 which can be releasably linked together by a carbon fibre frame 18 to form an assembled boat.

Description

A DEMOUNTABLE BOAT This invention relates to a demountable boat.
Boats which can be readily assembled and dismantled for ease of transport are known. These known types of boat usually comprise one or more separate parts linked together in a suitable manner to form an assembled boat.
However, a problem arises insofar as the parts of a boat are, generally speaking, relatively large in size and therefore not capable of being carried by a single person.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a demountable boat which is capable of being carried by one person.
According to the present invention therefore there is provided a demountable boat comprising a mast structure removably attachable to a body structure, said mast structure and said body structure comprising multiple mast and body elements capable of being releasably linked together to form an assembled boat.
With this arrangement it is possible to provide a demountable boat which can be readily assembled and disassembled and which, in its disassembled condition, is capable of being carried by a single person.
Preferably said body elements are linked together by a rigid frame means. Said elements may comprise bores therethrough, through which said frame means can extend thereby to link the elements. Said frame means may comprise multiple interconnected frame elements. Said frame means and/or said elements may be formed from carbon fibre.
Preferably said body and mast elements are dimensioned and configured so as to be capable of being contained in two hand held bags or like easily carried structures.
The invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, the single figure of which shows a schematic representation of one embodiment of demountable boat according to the present invention.
Referring now to the figure, there is shown a demountable boat 10 of catamaran form. The boat 10 comprises a mast structure 11 releasably linked to a body structure 12.
The mast structure 11 comprises multiple linked mast elements 13 to which a fore sail 14 and main sail 16 are attached. At a lower end of the mast structure 11, the structure 11 is adapted to releasably attach to a part of the body structure 12.
The body structure 12 comprises multiple float elements 17 linked together by a tubular frame 18. If desired, or necessary, the float elements may be adapted on adjacent faces thereof to releasably connect to each other in any suitable manner as desired or as appropriate. The tubular frame 18 is formed by multiple linked tubular frame elements 19. Each float element 17 has a longitudinal bore 21 therethrough through which frame elements 19 can extend thereby to link the modules 17. At front and rear positions opposite side parts of the frame 18 are linked by front and rear linking members 22. The frame elements 19 and linking members can be formed from carbon fibre or from any other suitable rigid and strong but light material, In use, the assembled boat is shown schematically in the figure.To disassemble the boat, the mast structure 11 is released from the body structure 12, the linking members 22 are removed and the frame elements 14 removed from the bores of the float elements 17. The mast structure can be disassembled by disconnection of the fore sail and main sail 14, 16 from the mast and disassembly of the mast into individual elements 1 3.
Assembly is the reverse of the above.
It will be appreciated that if the size of the float elements 1 7 is small enough and the frame and mast can be reduced to small enough sized elements 13, 14, it is possible to provide an arrangement in which the parts of the disassembled boat can be stored and carried in two hand held bags or other similar structure. This would enable the boat to be carried by a single person.
Thus the present invention readily lends itself to a boat which can be stored conveniently and can be conveniently carried, for example on holiday.
It is of course to be understood that the invention is not intended to be restricted to the details of the above embodiment which are described by way of example only.

Claims (7)

1. Ademountable boat comprising a mast structure removably attachable to a body structure, said mast structure and said body structure comprising multiple mast and body elements capable of being releasably linked together to form an assembled boat.
2. A demountable boat according to claim 1 wherein the body elements are linked together by rigid frame means.
3. A demountable boat according to claim 2 wherein said elements comprise bores therethrough, through which said frame means can extend thereby to link the elements.
4. A demountable boat according to claim 2 or claim 3 wherein said frame means comprises multiple interconnected frame elements.
5. A demountable boat according to anyone of claims 2 to 4 wherein said frame means and/or said elements are formed from carbon fibre.
6. A demountable boat structure according to any preceding claim, said body and mast elements being dimensioned and configured so as to be capable of being contained in two hand held bags or like easily carried structures.
7. A demountable boat substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
