Abstract
A personal watercraft (10) comprises a floatation platform (12) and a separate module (14) including a water propulsor driving crank mechanism (22) and a keel (38) mounting the water propulsor. The separate module (14), when mounted to the platform (12), extends at right angles to the platform with the keel (38) and propeller (40) extending below the platform (12) and the propulsor driving crank mechanism (22) extending above the platform. The separate module (14) is readily separable from the platform (12) for ease of storage and transport.
Claims12
A personal watercraft comprising a floatation platform, having sufficient buoyancy and lateral stability to support at least one person and a separate module including a water propulsor driving crank mechanism and a keel mounting the water propulsor;
- the separate module mounted to the platform extends at right angles to the platform with the keel and propeller extending below the platform and the propulsor driving crank mechanism extending above the platform, and the separate module being readily separable from the platform for storage and transport.
A watercraft comprising a floatation platform, having a bow, stern, port and starboard sides, the platform having sufficient buoyancy and lateral stability to support at least one person and a bicycle frame, the platform defining a slot extending longitudinally between the bow and stern;
- the bicycle frame extends in the longitudinal axis between the bow and the stern and through said slot in the platform whereby the bicycle frame is readily separable from the platform for storage and transport.
