Watercraft

11:

• The watercraft of claim 1, wherein:
• the hull includes bilateral projections adjacent the stern;
• and
• the support body is delimited by lateral edges;
• wherein the bilateral projections project transversely to a central longitudinal axis of the hull beyond the lateral edges at least where the support body is connected to the stern of the hull.

12:

• The watercraft of claim 11, wherein:
• the hull includes a bottom hull including water guidance surfaces extending in a direction from the bow toward the stern, the water guidance surfaces including a transition adjacent the stern into the at least one sliding surface of the support body;
• and
• the bilateral projections at least partially form the water guidance surfaces.

14:

• The watercraft of claim 13, wherein:
• the flooding compartment is also communicated to the body of water through a plurality of water outlet openings so that water is passed through the flooding compartment during travel of the watercraft in the body of water;
• and
• the watercraft includes an electrical unit located in the flooding compartment so that the electrical unit may be cooled by water passing through the flooding compartment.

15:

• The watercraft of claim 1, wherein:
• the hull has a central longitudinal axis running between the bow and the stern;
• the plurality of handles includes at least one handle on each side of the central longitudinal axis;
• and
• the watercraft further includes a control element adjacent each handle.

16:

• The watercraft of claim 1, wherein:
• the hull includes a bottom hull including water guidance surfaces extending in a direction from the bow toward the stern;
• the bottom hull includes a bulge and the flow channel is at least partially defined within the bulge;
• and
• the water guidance surfaces are disposed on both sides of the bulge.

17:

• The watercraft of claim 1, wherein:
• the hull includes a bulge on a bottom of the hull and the flow channel is at least partially defined within the bulge;
• and
• the watercraft further includes at least one stabilizing fin defined on the bulge.

19:

• A watercraft, comprising:
• a hull including a stern and a bow, the hull including a flow channel having an intake port and a jet outlet, and the hull including a deck including a support configured such that an upper body of a user can rest on the support;
• a plurality of handles attached to the hull such that the user resting on the support may grip the handles;
• and
• a propelling screw disposed in the flow channel between the intake port and the jet outlet;
• wherein the hull includes a bottom hull including water guidance surfaces extending in a direction from the bow toward the stern;
• wherein the bottom hull includes a bulge and the flow channel is at least partially defined within the bulge;
• and
• wherein the water guidance surfaces are disposed on both sides of the bulge.

22:

• The watercraft of claim 21, wherein:
• the flooding compartment is also communicated to the body of water through a plurality of water outlet openings so that water is passed through the flooding compartment during travel of the watercraft in the body of water;
• and
• the watercraft includes an electrical unit located in the flooding compartment so that the electrical unit may be cooled by water passing through the flooding compartment.

23:

• The watercraft of claim 19, wherein:
• the hull has a central longitudinal axis running between the bow and the stern;
• the plurality of handles includes at least one handle on each side of the central longitudinal axis;
• and
• the watercraft further includes a control element adjacent each handle.
