Extension module for aluminum collapsible boats

Abstract

A foldable extension is provided for foldable aluminium boats. The extension is mounted to the boat in place of the transom or rear of the boat, which itself is then mounted at the back of the extension. The boat and extension are connected together by friction interlocking formed profiles on each part. The extension is preferably provided with a bench.
