Abstract
A watercraft has an unsealed hull that is permeable such that, in use, water flows at least partly into an internal volume of the hull. The hull has at least one hull panel having inner and outer panel surfaces. At least one buoyant element is disposed within the internal volume of the hull. A conduit extends within the internal volume of the hull and defines at least one outlet for discharging water therethrough. An inlet connector of the conduit is configured to be connected to an external water source in order to supply water to the conduit. In response to the external water source being connected to the inlet connector, water flows through the conduit, out of the at least one outlet of the conduit, and onto at least a portion of at least one of the inner panel surface and the at least one buoyant element for rinsing thereof.
