ABSTRACT:
A recreational water craft is propelled by an individual using cross country skiing action. The weight of the operator is supported on a platform between two parallel floats thus providing a stable craft. The water craft comprises two longitudinal floats with a connecting frame, a first guide rail is mounted on the connecting frame having a first foot supporting trolley constrained to move backwards and forwards on the first guide rail, a second guide rail substantially parallel to the first guide rail mounted on the connecting frame, having a second foot supporting trolley constrained to move backwards and forwards on the second guide rail, a propulsion arrangement for moving the craft through the water when the first trolley or second trolley are moved backwards and forwards on the first or second guide rails, and a steering arrangement to direct direction of movement of the craft through the water.
