  • Patent number: 4973279
    Abstract: The appliance for assisting a swimmer in swimming, floating and being towed by a boat, includes a substantially board-shaped floating body having a leading edge and a trailing edge each of which have a V-shaped cross section. The floating body has a glass panel with a transverse reinforcing web mounted centrally therein so that the swimmer can observe through the floating body. The floating body has two longitudinal sides each having a handle in the shape of an arcuate protrusion projecting therefrom. Each of the handles is located in the middle of its longitudinal side, and the longitudinal sides are divided by a central transverse axis, each of the handles having a through-going handle opening positioned between the transverse axis and the leading edge. Fastening means, such as screws, are provided on each handle and a tow rope is attached to each of the fastening means by one of its two ends.
