Abstract

This invention relates to a boat of the catamaran type comprising two elongated floats interconnected by a beam system carrying a cockpit. The beam system is connected to each float by a transverse articulation oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of these floats. Structure comprising a differential is provided between the beam system and each float to maintain this beam system in a mean position relative to the floats. This differential may be of the hydraulic or mechanical type and under the control of a gyroscope. The cockpit is mounted at the middle of the beam system and is articulated about an axis oriented according to the longitudinal axis of the boat. Structure, such as a jack controlled by a gyroscope, is provided to maintain the cockpit in a horizontal position. A boat of this type, endowed with good stability, is useful particularly as a pleasure craft, passenger craft or as a service craft.
