Inflatable catamaran kit

Abstract

Abstract In a preferred embodiment, a sail-boat type wind-surfing catamaran as a kit of disassembled parts having inflatable deflated pneumatically-sealed pontoons, attachable and anchorable onto transversely extending detachable forwardly and rearwardly beams by detachably mountable and anchorable on the transversly extending beams, the band circumscribing the respective inflated pontoons when mounted, at-least a portion of each of the beams extending above the respective pontoons when inflated, the floor being mountable between and detachably anchored on the forwardly and rearwardly beams by forwardly to rearwardly-extending elongated supports extending between and detachably anchored on the forwardly and rearwardly beams, with a wing-rudder mounted in a fixed position on a distal end of an elongated wing-mounting rod-structure of which the proximal rod-end is detachable mounted between the pontoons and anchored on the rearwardly transverse beam, with supplemental support thereto extending from rearward portions of the pontoons, with a mast head's masthead-heel mounted within a through-space in spaced-apart panels extending lengthwise of the pontoons, and with a detachably mountable and anchorable daggerboard well-structure and detachable daggerboard mounted therein, mounted also within the through-space between the floor panels, the proximal ends of the bands having enlarged heads insertable into detachable; band-anchoring through-space formed in opposite ends of the transverse beams when the pontoons are in a deflated state to be non-removable band-heads when the pontoons are inflated with the bands tightly holding the inflated pontoons, and with a split-off band distal end being mounted and anchored to an intermediate portion of the same transverse beam, there being a water-tight bag and support structure thereof mounted onto a forward portion of the forward transverse beam.
