Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved catamaran central body portion that solves previous problems. It has a floor structure with rising front and mid walls and smooth surface underneath. There is a front roofed alcove, mid bridge area, drivers seat, and rear passenger area. There are also hull entry openings and wall bracing structures for strengthening the side walls. The invention allows for a variable width catamaran boat consisting of two habitable hulls with weather sheltering roof means. The improvements enable a better catamaran experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, when a catamaran is constructed as a single one-piece module, then the wider width becomes a major problem for towing over land.

Roofed alcove enclosed by said front, mid, and side walls. First and second embodiments having bridge area with navigation controls rearward of said alcove and further rearward a passenger area. Third embodiment having passenger area roofed cabin rearward of said alcove and further rearward a bridge area with navigation controls. Hull entry openings in both said side walls are in passenger area of first and third embodiments and in bridge area of second embodiment. Rear portion of said side walls having wall bracing structures for strengthening.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]Not applicableBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to the central body portion of a catamaran boat. More specifically to a catamaran central body structure to be attached to as well as carried above water by a port and a starboard hull with both having a weather sheltering roof means.[0003]Catamarans have many characteristics that make them desirable for recreational boaters. Generally, they offer a wider width which provides more deck and cabin space than similar length traditional monohull boats. The more slender hulls of a catamaran boat are more easily driven through the water thus making the catamaran relatively faster and more economical to operate. In sailing applications, the wider width eliminates the need for a heavy keel, thus faster and more economical, as well as a more stable platform. However, when a catamaran is constructed as a single one-piece module, then the wider width becomes a major problem...
