ABSTRACT:
A circular saucer boat which is adapted to be driven by means of a plurality of water jets through prepositioned pipes leading to openings directed radially in four perpendicular directions. The boat comprises a circular framework which is covered by a thin skin which seals the exposed surface of the boat. A circular opening at the top provides space for occupants. An engine and hydraulic pump are provided for generating a flow of sea water which is discharged from the pump through one or more of four pipes leading to the four openings. There are valves in each of the four lines which can be controlled individually or in combination. Speed control can be by the throttle of the engine, or by control of valves which open the pipes to a greater or lesser flow of water.
