ABSTRACT:
The water craft is provided with a longitudinally disposed recess in the deck with a pair of ridges defining the recess and extending along the sides of the craft. Each ridge is rounded with respect to a centrally disposed rounded crown in the recess so as to provide a surface against which a windsurfer may stand during windsurfing. The ridges are also more gently rounded with respect to the crown in a stern section of the craft to provide for a comfortable seating arrangement for sailing or rowing purposes. The underside of the craft is provided with a pair of runners along the longitudinal edges and a centrally disposed chines. In addition, a winglet extends from the terminal rear end of each runner in order to enhance stability of the craft in water and to direct water out the sides of the stern during sailing.
