A rigid inflatable boat adapted for ease of lifesaving includes an
arc-shaped front tube fixedly installed at a front side of a hull and a
rear tube slideably installed at a rear side of the hull. A respective
sliding rail having a guiding member disposed therein extends
longitudinally on an upper surface of the hull at one or both sides
thereof The rear tube is slideable forward and backward along the sliding
rail due to the operation of the guiding member. A first holding means
for detachably supporting a rear end of the arc-shaped tube and a front
end of the rear tube is installed between the rear end of the arc-shaped
tube and the front end of the rear tube. An open space between a rear end
of the arc-shaped front tube and a front end of the rear tube provides
ease of lifesaving.
