Dependent claims

A catamaran central body suitable for attaching to as well as carried above water by roof sheltered port and starboard hulls comprising:

(a) a floor structure with topside having rising rigid front wall, mid wall, port and starboard side walls and with underside characterized as a smooth surface having port and starboard flange lips wherein associated said side walls in vertical alignment with said flange lips together form an inboard and/or outboard mating surface whereby a pair of habitable roof sheltered hulls are enabled to together (hull and roof) attach to or detach from hull-wise associated said flange lips inboard and/or outboard side as also roof-wise associated said side walls inboard and/or outboard side forming a disassemble catamaran boat;
(b) a front roofed alcove disposed on said floor structure enclosed by said front wall, said mid wall, and said port and starboard side walls wherein interior space for sleeping accessible through opening in one or both said side walls;
(c) a middle bridge area disposed on said floor structure between said side walls rearward from said mid wall including therein navigational controls, a drivers seat, and a number of bridge area seating means;
(d) a rear passenger area disposed on said floor structure rearward from said bridge area including therein port and starboard hull entry openings through said side walls for hull entry and rearward including therein laterally spaced-apart side wall bracing structures for strengthening each said side walls.
