Collapsible trimaran boat

Claim 1

A collapsible trimaran-type boat comprising three parallel individual longitudinal float sections, each float section having two tapering sides and a top surface, said float sections constituting a center section of a generally inverted isosceles triangular cross-sectional configuration and port and starboard sections each of a generally right angle triangular cross-sectional configuration, one side of each port and starboard float section being the hypotenuse of said right angle triangular cross-sectional configuration, hinge components connecting said center float section at one upper corner edge of its top surface to said starboard float section at its top surface at the intersection of said one side thereof, other hinge components connecting said center float section at the opposite upper corner edge to said port float section at its top surface at the intersection of said one side thereof, said port and starboard float sections being pivotal relative to said center float section about said hinge components between a collapsed position where the hypotenuse of each port and starboard float section is juxtaposed with said-side of said center float section resulting in said boat at its float sections having a generally rectangular configuration and an operative floating position where said float section top surfaces are generally planar and said hypotenuses of said port and starboard float sections are angularly displaced from said sides of said center float section, and means for securing said port and starboard float sections in their operative floating position.
