ABSTRACT:
A modular navigation vessel having rotating floats includes a forward module ending in a stem, a central module in the form of a caisson and a rear module, all three modules being ridigly assembled by means of removable connection means. The modules are provided with lateral walls which are connected together in an uninterrupted manner to form a regular hull from the stem to the stern, where at least the second and third modules are equipped with axles carrying rotating floats having a size which keeps the hull entirely above the surface of the water. The floats are equipped in the vicinity of their periphery with a plurality of rigid paddles which are spaced at a constant angle from one another and have a concave shape.
