ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a pedal powered amphibious sailboat apparatus. In one embodied form, the inventive boating apparatus comprises a relatively light-weight hull with peripheral air tanks along the interior walls of the hull, two pedalling stands which translate the rotational movement of the foot pedalling by one or two occupants to a gearing system by means of drive chains, which synchronously causes rotational movements of a screw propeller and a pair of wheels in the rear of the hull. Accordingly, the unique pedal powered sailboat apparatus of the present invention is capable of cruising water with pedal power of the occupants and capable of land transportation without use of a fossil fueled combustion engine or electricity.
