Abstract

Engin flottant constitué par une coque (1) comprenant deux flotteurs (3) parallèles reliés l'un à l'autre, sous la forme de moitiés longitudinales d'une planche de surf. Le pont entre celles-ci est formé par un élément jointif central (4) et par un autre élément jointif (7), à distance du précédent, vers l'arrière. Dans l'élément jointif central (4) est disposé, le long du plan médian longitudinal (2), un rail (14) pour la fixation, réglable longitudinalement, d'un mât (25) pour un tendeur de voile (26), au moyen duquel la coque peut être utilisée pour pratiquer la planche à voile. La coque peut être également utilisée pour la navigation à la voile, lorsque le mât est en outre fixé par deux montants (30), d'un montage facile, s'étendant entre le mât et les extrémités avant des flotteurs (3). Un siège (33) peut être monté sur chaque flotteur pour au moins deux navigateurs. Un gouvernail (35) est monté sur l'élément jointif arrière (7). En outre, un siège déplaçable longitudinalement (20) peut être disposé sur des rails (19), parallèlement au plan médian longitudinal (2), cependant que des tolets (22) pour des avirons peuvent être insérés dans des évidements (23) ménagés dans chacun des flotteurs, en vue de propulser l'engin également avec des avirons. Des roues ou des patins, montés amovibles sur la coque, permettent l'entraînement de l'engin par la force du vent, également sur terre ou sur glace.
