May one carry throughout a boat on Shabbat, and what is the law if the boat is flipped over?
Synopsis
A boat is considered mukaf l'dirah and one may carry throughout it even if larger than two se'ah. If flipped to dwell beneath it, it creates reshut hayachid even on top. If flipped for caulking, carrying is restricted to four cubits if it exceeds two se'ah.
