- the shape being generated by way of rotomoulding process so as to create a monohull structure composed of five conjoined continuous generally cylindrical elements joined at both extremities by a generally flat member which defines the opposite end;
- the five generally cylindrical elements define an interior space having a bottom;
- the interior space as at least three built-in seats;
- each built-in seat has a horizontal seating portion and a perpendicularly extending vertical backrest extending integrally from the seating portion of each built-in seat and wherein the last built-in seat has the flat member also forming the backrest extending integrally from the last built-in seat;
