Abstract: Steerable towcraft having a buoyant body upon which a person can ride, a towline attached to body and adapted for connection to the pulling vessel, a fin on the under side of the body for guiding the body through water, and a steering line connected to the towline at a point spaced from the body. By pulling on the steering line, a person riding on the body can change the angle of the fin relative to the towline, and thereby control the direction in which the towcraft is moving.
