20080295757 | FLOATATION APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING A FLOATATION APPARATUS - A floatation apparatus attachable to an outrigger extending from a side of a boat such as a shell for rowing includes a buoyant member, and at least one releasably attachable member operably attachable to the buoyant member for releasably attaching the floatation apparatus to the outrigger so that the buoyant member is spaced-apart from the surface of the water when the boat is orientated upright. In one embodiment, the buoyant member is a generally triangular-shaped planar member receivable between a triangular-shaped opening defined by a plurality of elongated members of the outrigger and the side of the boat. Also disclosed are methods for aiding a rower of a boat in the event that the boat capsizes, and methods for inhibiting capsizing of a rowing boat having at least one outrigger extending from each side of the rowing boat for supporting a plurality of oarlocks. | 12-04-2008 |
20090007831 | Removable Device with Foldable Floats for Transforming a Monohull Vessel into a Multihull Vessel and Vessel Comprising the Device - The invention relates to a device ( | 01-08-2009 |
20100024702 | WATERCRAFT STABILIZATION SYSTEM - This invention relates generally to the stabilization of watercraft, such as kayaks and canoes, and especially to the stabilization of a kayak to allow an individual to stand or move in a kayak without the kayak rocking or rolling over. The pontoon assembly is mounted to a kayak which allows for extending a stabilizing pontoon individually on each side of the watercraft and locking the pontoon at an operative position. Each pontoon can be rapidly raised to a rest position for paddling the kayak or canoe. | 02-04-2010 |
20120060737 | Deployable assembly - This embodiment relates generally to the deployable assembly ( | 03-15-2012 |
20130112130 | Hull structure especially for recreational vessels - A hull structure, especially for recreational vessels, includes at least one insulated bottom element section or moveable bottom element displaceable laterally by means of projecting actuators from a position adhering to the hull and preferably recessed into a respective shape, to at least one position projecting outside of the hull, with respect to which members for widening the deck project therewith in synchronism with the at least one displaced hull section or displaced moveable bottom element and vice versa. | 05-09-2013 |
20140230709 | Outrigger Deployment Mechanism - An outrigger deployment mechanism is provided. The outrigger deployment mechanism may include, one or more outrigger adjustment plates; one or more outriggers; one or more outrigger arms operably coupling the one or more outriggers to the one or more outrigger adjustment plates; one or more locking mechanisms operably engaged with at least one of the one or more outrigger adjustment plates and at least one of a corresponding one or more outrigger arms, wherein the one or more locking mechanisms are configured to lock the outriggers in various positions; and one or more adjustment mechanisms operably engaged with one or more of the one or more locking mechanisms and the one or more outrigger arms, wherein the one or more adjustment mechanisms are configured to position the outriggers. | 08-21-2014 |
20140261129 | Human Powered Watercraft with Fin Propulsion - A human-powered watercraft comprises a fin, a displacement body, and an outrigger, wherein the outrigger floats separately from the watercraft within a vertically oriented tube, which tube allows the outrigger to rise up and down relative to the watercraft while maintaining the relative orientation of the watercraft. | 09-18-2014 |
20150298777 | RESCUE SYSTEM FOR SEMI-SEALED MARINE VESSELS - Disclosed is a rescue system for semi-sealed marine vessels, which includes a rescue unit and a backup rescue machine The rescue unit is installed in a vessel compartment and includes an air bag, a canister containing compressed gas, a needle valve, and a flow control valve for employing the physical property that air has a specific gravity smaller than water, whereby when water leaks into the vessel compartment, through pressing down the needle valve, the compressed air is supplied into the air bag for inflating and expanding the air bag to get floating on the seawater inside the vessel compartment and occupy the internal space of the vessel compartment. The backup rescue machine includes an air compressor and at least a diversion valve to supplement a great amount of high-pressure gas to the vessel compartment for preventing water leaking into the vessel compartment. | 10-22-2015 |
