ABSTRACT:
A wind-powered boat has a pair of spaced apart, fixed hull sections and a castering front hull between the side hull sections. A turret section is supported for rotation on the boat and has a foot-powered winch on which a load line and a pair of control lines of a maneuverable parafoil are wound. Hand-manipulated control reins engage the control lines for maneuvering the parafoil. A foot-operated steering mechanism controls movement of the rudder to steer the boat. A collapsing ring is slideable over the parafoil for collapsing and supporting the parafoil when retrieved. A launching ring releasably supports the parafoil until it is launched.
