ABSTRACT:
A floating breakwater or wave tripper supported by pontoons or floats is disclosed. The breakwater is useable for moderating waves and for creating a generally calm surface on the water behind the breakwater. Since the device is carried by floats or pontoons, it is portable and may be moved and positioned as desired. The pontoons or floats which support the breakwater are so shaped that the device cuts through waves striking it instead of floating over them, and is therefore more effective in reducing the height of incident waves than are prior devices which float on the surface of the wave. Suitable anchors are provided to secure the device in a desired location and a plurality of wavebreakers may be joined together to form a portable breakwater of generally any desired length.
