ABSTRACT:
A suction cup mounted holder is provided for waterborne watercraft which may be easily attached and detached to the exterior hull surface both above and below the waterline, and without penetrating or permanently disfiguring the exterior hull surface. The holder is especially useful in securing a swimmer or diver in the water during cleaning and maintaining the exterior hull surface. This may be accomplished while the watercraft is waterborne and without the expense and inconvenience of drydocking or otherwise removing the watercraft to dry land. A waterborne watercraft is also disclosed which has the holder of the invention releasably attached thereto to thereby allow the exterior hull surface to be cleaned and maintained by swimmers and/or divers. In a further aspect, a novel method is disclosed for cleaning and maintaining the exterior hull surface of a waterborne watercraft by swimmers and/or divers.
