ABSTRACT:
An unpowered planing craft for a side-by-side pair of riders includes a bifurcated hull having rearwardly projecting and laterally diverging leg portions, and a laterally spaced pair of restraint members connectable near opposite edges at forward extremities of each leg portion for holding respective ones of the riders kneeling side-by-side on a deck surface of the hull. In a preferred version, the hull is approximately 46 inches wide and approximately 48 inches long, inside edges of the leg portions diverging rearwardly approximately 30.degree. from longitudinal hull axis. A forward perimeter outline portion ahead of outer extremities of the leg portion extend convexly outwardly and forwardly to a forward extremity of the hull. A resilient pad is affixed to the hull in flush relation to the deck surface for comfortably supporting the riders. The hull is formed with a plurality of longitudinal channel passages formed therein as stabilizers, and a pair of interchangeable skeg members for facilitating cutting maneuvers.
