PERSONAL WATERCRAFT WITH MULTIPLE HULLS

摘要

Personal watercraft with three hulls arranged in a substantially triangular configuration that offers better efficiency compared to existing kayaks or paddleboards, with the stability of a multiple-hull watercraft in a form that is useable as a kayak or paddleboard. In some examples, the personal watercraft includes a propulsion means such as an engine-powered water jet drive.
