  • Patent number: 6640737
    Abstract: A catamaran boat that can be sailed or motor driven having a central cabin structure carried above water by a pair or more of retractable hulls whether hulls are extended or retracted. Each hull outboard side has an upward extending hull wall hinged close to the edge of roof on two opposing sides of cabin structure so as to allow hulls to swing retract under the cabin structure, swinging from these hinges attached close to the roof. Each hulls inboard side has retraction guiding means for rolling or sliding on tracks which are attached to cabin structure's underside and end wise attached to a outer surrounding frame. A pair of dual threaded shafts with opposite threaded brackets attached to inboard side forward and rearward end of each hull functions to spread hulls apart or return closer together.
