Abstract

L'invention concerne une embarcation flottante comportant un corps de flottaison et un poste-passager, maintenu dessus. Le corps de flottaison présente des zones d'appui rigides qui s'étendent de chaque côté transversalement à son sens longitudinal. Le poste-passager comprend de préférence un siège et une barre. La barre est reliée à un mécanisme de pilotage pour l'embarcation flottante. Des éléments de retenue sont articulés sur les zones d'appui et sont destinés aux pieds et éventuellement aux jambes du passager. Afin de réaliser une embarcation flottante de ce type dont la construction soit simple et qui permette un mainement encore plus aisé, il est prévu que le poste-passager (4) soit monté de manière à être mobile sur au moins une glissière (7) formée sur le dessus du corps de flottaison (1), transversalement à l'axe longitudinal de l'embarcation flottante, le long de ladite glissière (7).
