Definitions

  • the invention relates to a watercraft with two in parallel and at a distance Surfboards arranged to each other, which are joined together with the help of a frame are connected.
  • Such a watercraft is from DE 40 30 225 and from DE 42 43 752 known.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of a generic To develop the watercraft so that it can be used even with large Speeds has good driving characteristics.
  • the frame has a main frame and a connecting rod, which are each connected to the surfboards and by legs lying in the direction of travel , the two legs of the frame lying in the direction of travel have flexible elements and the frame a diagonally braced rectangle.
  • the frame constructed in this way sets the forces of the waves acting on the frame to parts of the frame around what results in less resistance and thus a higher top speed results.
  • the frame according to the invention can be designed so that it statically rigid receives only the rear straps of surfboards and possibly an outboard motor. Flexible elements are then attached to the rear frame part towards the front, which dynamically connect the main frame with the connection heads on the right and left.
  • the connecting heads are then rigid, easily detachably connected to one another via the perch and braced diagonally with the corner points of the main frame. With this arrangement, the connection heads can be viewed individually, freely vertically, dynamically movably on the frame. A shaft lifting the boat on one side only lifts one board and therefore the vehicle less.
  • the diagonal bracing is preferably done by crossing ropes performed. Alternatively or in addition, the diagonal bracing can be used but can also be absorbed by a stronger rectangular fabric. This Fabric can then also serve as a seat.
  • the flexible elements are elastic.
  • the Bracing and the arrangement of the flexible connectors for one ensures some elasticity of the frame, it is advantageous if the flexible Elements are elastic.
  • the transport of the watercraft is greatly simplified if the frame in the Area of flexible elements is divisible. By dividing the frame in the area The flexible elements create two rigid frame parts, which are inserted by inserting the flexible elements and the diagonal bracing are.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the watercraft according to the invention provides that the frame has a mast foot mount and foot straps of the surfboards is easily detachably connected to the surfboards. This makes it possible by default to use manufactured surfboards, both as inventive Watercraft as well as surfboards without major renovations can be used.
  • the frame has control devices.
  • On the frame can, for example, devices for changing the direction of travel, Transmission controls or speed control devices can be provided.
  • a frame spar connecting the surfboards is a Steering device attached while the translation and speed control devices on the legs of the frame in the direction of travel are arranged.
  • fastening devices on the frame are arranged. These fastening devices can be very different Purposes, such as securing luggage, reserve tanks or the like.
  • the fasteners can also be used to sail on Attach watercraft. At least one is preferred in surfing known mast foot bracket attached to the frame to one or more sails on Attach watercraft. In addition, however, a fixed one Mast attached to the frame and anchored there.
  • Has swords are preferably from the surfing area known fins, which should be placed approximately in the middle of the frame.
  • the in Front part of the frame has a spoiler.
  • Such one Spoiler ensures that the bow of the Watercraft is pressed down.
  • Straight ahead at high Velocities can also be increased by upright guide fins that protrude into the air get supported.
  • a simple, stable frame structure is achieved in that the in Leg of the frame lying at the direction of travel at opposite ends, preferably connected at the rear ends in the direction of travel with a rope are. Attaching a rope in the rear area also ensures that a motor attached to the frame is protected.
