ABSTRACT:
A modular watercraft system includes large and small hulls, and a variety of connectors for enabling the manual assembly of any one of several multi-hull watercraft, for example an outrigger, a catamaran, or a trimaran. The modular components are all designed to be lightweight and easily portable. In addition, a V-shaped transom, enabling inboard pivotal mounting of a rudder, may be provided on each large main hull for enhancing maneuverability and boater safety. Furthermore, a removable mast that is mounted for unobstructed 360 degree rotation about a mast axis may be provided.
