<p>Aquatic vessels having inflatable hull envelopes (316-317) that receive transversely (i.e., are transected by) tie members (321-329) for carrying framework upon which decking, propulsion means, etc. are supported. The hull envelopes, which are generally cigar-shaped, are located side by side, with or without spacing of adjacent envelopes apart. Engine-propulsion and/or wind-propulsion means can be supported on the framework, with or without adaptation of the hull envelopes thereto. Such vessels are useful for general transportation, or special recreational uses such as carrying persons for coastal or deep-sea fishing, or for pulling persons on water skies along the surface, or persons held aloft by a parachute-like sail (or "parasail") above the surface, and they are capable of high-speed travel.</p> |
