BUOYANT STRUCTURE
A buoyant structure having a hull, a main deck, an upper cylindrical side section extending downwardly from the main deck, an upper frustoconical side section, a cylindrical neck, a lower ellipsoidal section that extends from the cylindrical neck, an ellipsoidal keel and a fin-shaped appendage secured to a lower and an outer portion of the exterior of the ellipsoid keel. The upper frustoconical side section located below the upper cylindrical side section and maintained to be above a water line for a transport depth and partially below the water line for an operational depth of the buoyant structure.
Multihull watercraft
The patent discloses a multihull watercraft with a unique hull configuration providing numerous benefits. Passenger cabins are enclosed within a separate upper hull, which allows the accommodation space and the float hulls to be independently optimized. The new configuration also provides reduced windage, and creates additional deck space for easier boarding, recreational use, and safer access to shore craft.

Transforming floating dock system
The invention presented is a transformable floating dock system comprising a stationary floating dock section with a pair of movable floating dock sections operatively attached to each end of the stationary dock. The transformable floating dock system can be moved into different configurations by rotating the movable sections around each other and around each end of the stationary dock to form different configurations of the dock system. The configurations can be transformed without entering the water or moving the stationary dock system.

Mat storage system for a boat
A watercraft with a hull assembly and a mat storage system coupled to the hull assembly. The hull assembly may have a mat compartment with the mat storage system configured to move the mat between a stored position, in which at least a portion of the mat is positioned in the mat compartment, and a deployed position. The mat compartment may be positioned beneath at least a portion of a floor of the hull assembly. The hull assembly may have a cover positioned adjacent the mat compartment and moveable between a closed position, in which it covers at least a portion of the mat compartment, and an open position. The mat storage system may have a motor that is configured to move the mat to a stored position.

Systems for Attaching Accessories to a Boat or a Marine Environment
An example system for attaching accessories to a boat or a marine environment includes a first leg frame member, a second leg frame member, an attachment device, a first flexible support member, and a second flexible support member. Each of the first leg frame member and the second leg frame member has a base member, an intermediate member, and a top member. The intermediate member is attachable to the base member and the top member is attachable to the intermediate member. The attachment device is mountable to the first leg frame member and the second leg frame member. The first flexible support member is attachable to one of the first leg frame member and the attachment device. The second flexible support member is attachable to one of the second leg frame member and the attachment device.
