Abstract: The present disclosure features inflatable kayaks that have a non-planar hull bottom surface. The kayaks may include an inflatable, tubular body having a bow, a stern and a midsection, wherein opposed side tubes of the midsection define an open central seating area having a predetermined width when the tubular body is inflated; and a hull bottom fabric joined to a lower surface of the body outside of a periphery of the seating area, the hull bottom fabric having a width that is greater than the width of the central seating area such that the hull bottom fabric is not tensioned between the side tubes, and the hull bottom fabric being joined to the side tubes outboard of a vertical center line of the side tubes.

Abstract: Packrafts are disclosed that include an inflatable, tubular packraft body having a bow, a stern, and a midsection, and a floor portion joined to the packraft body to define a central seating area. In these packrafts, the stern comprises a center panel joined to a pair of side panels such that the stern has a generally frustoconical shape. This stern shape provides the packraft with enhanced handling characteristics, particularly in whitewater.
