ABSTRACT:
A watercraft including an elongated V-type hull and first and second stabilizers mounted in outrigger fashion on opposite sides of the hull. In a preferred embodiment, each stabilizer includes an elongated flotation member having its longitudinal centerline aligned with the longitudinal centerline of the hull. Each stabilizer is retractably mounted on its respective side of the hull employing a pantographic-type set of extensors interconnecting its flotation member with the hull, whereby each flotation member, and its accompanying extensor arms, may be independently extended away from the hull or retracted to a position alongside the hull.
