Portable demountable sailing craft - with buoyancy floats doubling as rudders and outriggers moved on adjustable rods

摘要

The main section of the demountable sailing craft is a trough shaped section (3) extending across the width of the craft. To this are fastened buoyancy floats (6, 7) to form the bows and outriggers (7). The outriggers provide good lateral stability without increasing the size of the hull. The outriggers can be steered, thus dispensing with a rudder. The craft is easily demounted and carried on a car roof rack or similar transporter. It is light and simple to construct. It can take any suitable shape, with the floats streamlined to reduce drag.
