A wind propelled sailing craft. The craft includes a frame with fore-and-aft beams interconnected by transverse beams. A deck is attached to the frame where the operator will sit on a trampoline. A sail-like structure is attached to the frame and extends upwardly from the deck. A pair of elongated hulls are disposed laterally of each other and include a pair of fore-and-aft spaced upwardly extending pedestals to pivotally receive one of the fore-and-aft beams of the frame. Each hull has attached at its tail end a rudder. A rudder bar is attached to and interconnects each of the hulls and the rudder attached to the opposite hull. A tiller is pivotally attached to the transverse beams of the frame and tie rods interconnect the hulls and the tiller. When the pilot moves the operator bar of the tiller, it acts to simultaneously move both hulls and both rudders to turn the craft.

A wind propelled sailing craft, comprising: a frame including fore-and-aft beams interconnected by transverse beams; a deck attached to said frame; a wind propulsion structure attached to said frame and disposed to extend above said deck; a pair of elongated hulls disposed in laterally spaced relationship, each of said hulls including a pair of fore-and-aft spaced upwardly extending pedestals adapted to receive one of said fore-and-aft beams of the frame for pivotal movement with respect thereto about a horizontal axis, each of said hulls including a nose, a tail, an inside rail and an outside rail; a rudder pivotally attached to each of said hulls at said tail; a tiller having an operator bar pivotally attached to one of said transverse beams, said operator bar including a drive section disposed to extend above said transverse beams and a driven section disposed to extend below said transverse beams; tie rods pivotally attached to a lower portion of said driven section, said tie rods being laterally disposed to extend to a point of pivotal attachment on each of said hulls offset from said horizontal axis; and rudder bars pivotally attached to and interconnecting each of said hulls and the rudder attached to the opposite hull, whereby movement of the operator bar of the tiller by a pilot is translated to simultaneous pivotal movement of both hulls and both rudders to facilitate turning of the craft.
