Floating bodies are stabilized by the provision of outboard stabilizers formed by hollow enclosures open at the bottom for trapping air. The enclosures including entrapped air reduce oscillation and increase buoyancy. The stabilizers are movable between an open, stabilizing position and a retracted position for storage. In the preferred embodiment the floating body is in the form of a vertically oriented strip and hinged shutters are provided near the upper edge of the strip. The stabilizing enclosure is defined by the strip and shutter which is normally urged outwardly from the strip. The shutters are readily folded against the strip for easy storage. |
