A motorised outrigger stabilised watercraft comprising a main hull extending in a fore-aft direction, a single outrigger arranged to stabilise the main hull, extending substantially parallel to the main hull and spaced laterally from the main hull, and at least one hydrofoil located at or proximate the stern of the main hull.

A gate system for a pontoon boat is provided. The gate system may comprise a gate, a guide, and a guide interface member.

A bearing device of a floating power station includes a supporting component and operation and maintenance passages formed by multiple operation and maintenance floating bodies arranged in sequence. Two adjacent rows of the operation and maintenance passages are connected by the supporting component, and an electrical device mounting position for mounting an electrical device is provided on the supporting component. In the bearing device for the floating power station provided according to the present application, the two adjacent rows of the operation and maintenance passages are connected by the supporting component, and the electrical device is mounted on the electrical device mounting position of the supporting component, that is, the mounting of the electrical device is not affected by a space between the two adjacent operation and maintenance passages, thereby the versatility of the bearing device provided according to the present application is improved.

A marine deck member and the process for forming the same. The marine deck member comprises a sandwich-type composite panel made by a compression molding process. In such a process, the panel is made by subjecting a heated stack of layers of material to cold-pressing in a mold. The cellular core has a 2-D array of cells, with end faces open to the respective layers or skins. The surface traction of this type of composite panel can be enhanced for marine deck applications by controlled debossing, or embossing, of the first skin while it cools in the compression mold. The debossing effect can be affected by applying pressurized gas, e.g., pressurized air, onto the outer surface of the first skin while in the compression mold. The embossing can be affected by applying vacuum pressure on the outer surface of the first skin while in the compression mold.

A portable marine camping apparatus that is configured to provide a camping and recreational platform that can navigate waterways wherein the present invention is inflatable so as to facilitate easy transport thereof. The present invention includes a deck assembly that is superposed a hull portion wherein the deck assembly is planar in manner and includes rigid high pressure air chambers. Integrally formed with the deck assembly is a tent module wherein the tent module is manufactured from inflatable components and is deployed during inflation of the deck assembly. A boat unit is operably coupled to the rear of the deck assembly and is configured to provide propulsion of the portable marine camping apparatus 100. A fire module is formed with the deck assembly and is manufactured from steel grate panels. The fire assembly further includes a receptacle for receiving combustible materials.

Embodiments described herein relate generally to a sailing vessel that can substantially obviate the heeling problem experienced by classical sailboats. During navigation, the sailing vessel is driven forward by an aerodynamic force exerted by wind on the sail, and balanced by a hydrodynamic force exerted by water on a float on the stern of the sailing vessel, the aerodynamic force and the hydrodynamic force being parallel or substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sailing vessel.

A pontoon boat includes port and starboard pontoons and cross members connecting the pontoons. A shock absorber may be installed at each point of connection of the pontoons to the cross members. A cross member may be embodied as a double-webbed beam having first and second parallel flanges and first and second webs disposed between and connected to the flanges. Each pontoon may include a two-stage lifting strake having a first surface and a second surface inclined from the first surface.

A floating vessel comprising: (a) opposing hulls; (b) a beam extending between and interconnecting the opposing hulls; and (c) a deck supported by the beam and positioned between the opposing hulls, wherein the floating vessel is modular and configured for easy assembly, disassembly, or both.

A catamaran lifting apparatus is disclosed for lifting objects in a marine environment. The apparatus includes first and second vessels that are spaced apart during use. A first frame spans between the vessels. A second frame spans between the vessels. The frames are spaced apart and connected to the vessels in a configuration that spaces the vessels apart. The first frame connects to the first vessel with a universal joint and to the second vessel with a hinged connection. The second frame connects to the second vessel with a universal joint and to the first vessel with a hinged or pinned connection. Each of the frames extends upwardly in an inverted u-shape, providing a space under the frame and in between the barges that enables a marine vessel to he positioned in between the barges and under the frames.
