  • Patent number: 3970025
    Abstract: A catamaran includes a system of at least two pairs of opposed pontoons arranged in tandem relation with one pair forwardly of the other. Each pontoon is supported near its mid point on a generally vertical axis to a superstructure. The pontoons of one pair are connected by a cross connecting member pivoted to the pontoons of said one pair along generally vertical axes at points equally spaced from the pivots connecting said pontoons to said superstructure, so said pontoons of said one pair are held in substantially parallel relation. The rear end of each forward pontoon of one pair is pivotally connected to the forward end of the pontoon of the other pair on opposite sides of longitudinal center between said pontoons. This pivotal movement of the pontoons of one pair about their vertical pivot near their mid point acts to rotate the mid points of the pontoons of the other pair in the opposite direction about their vertical axes.
