A manual thrust device propulsion system (250) for a personal buoyant watercraft (300, 400) where the thrust device is made operational by the movement of a lever ( 264) - associated with a ratchet device (262) - through an arc, which via cog wheels transfers the rotary movement to a paddle wheel. The form of the manual thrust device and purpose made hull configuration result in an easily steerable pleasure craft being able to operate in shallow water thereby facilitating boarding and landing the craft close to the beach, and easy re-boarding of this very stable craft in deep water situations. The size and dis-assembly provisions allow the craft to be transported by a vehicle. The craft can be easily operated by those with limited endurance but also can suit those who may want to use it as part of an exercise regime. {c ~~- ~aoo '214 |
