ABSTRACT:
This is a sporting wishbone or Y-shaped board for supporting one or two riders in sliding over water or snow. The single bottom arm of the Y is as wide as the combined width of the two front arms of the Y plus the space in between, or approximately 16" to 18", being the total length of the sled 5' to 6'. The medial edges of the two front arms have a built up lip that gently starts from zero at their front tips and slowly becomes 3" to 4" tall near the crotch of the Y-shaped sled. At the very crotch, this built up lip is humped up 14" off the flat bed of the sled to form a racing bicycle seat-like cusp. The widest, single arm of the Y, smoothly curves upward towards the end of the sled forming a gentle letter S in longitudinal section, being the end of this curved up elevation approximately 14" over the flat bed of the sled. Symmetrical sets of fixed, soft straps are placed at various points to hold the rider's feet in the different positions possible for one or two riders for facing either opposite end of the sled. A small, downward pointing stabilizing fin is provided below the wide section.
