Hello!
I developed and patented, in 1997, a personal aquatic vehicle, that can easily become a multi-user boat. It competes directly with kayaks, canoes, skiffs and indirectly with jet skis, pedal boats and any other vehicle of same size. Due to its maneuverability, it creates new concepts of watercrafts competitions. It is the most portable of all small aquatic vehicles.
Bic sport made a kayak (yakka) with the same concept and design, but it didn´t reach the real revolutionary essence of my vehicle. Yakka even won the Paddler´s Pick for innovation award from Paddler Magazine - January/February 2006!
The royalties rights of my patent are limited to Brazil, where I haven´t been able to produce it due to lack of money and support, because in this country it is easier to break the inventor and take away his patent.
Anyone interested in producing the concept of my patent outside Brazil is welcome to do so.
This forum is intended to debate my invention and, maybe, encourage its production.
If anyone is interested in dominating the Brazilian market, please contact.
Additional information about the project and my email can be seen on:

Thanks for your time.

| Hey man cool design. Very attractive aesthetic. Looks light and fast. I looked at the video of the prototype on your page. It seems to perform well but will you have structural strength problems at the join of the two rigid parts? Do you get a wet arse using it? I looks like you might. Some of those concepts of your diverse models page look awesome you should pursue those aswell.

Hi, Snowdon
Thanks!
You do get arse wet in the model you saw in the video, but it’s all a matter of design. The design of the model Bic “copied” won’t wet more than a sit-on-top.
The structural strength is determined by the material used, but for a model for a more nervous type of water, I think the best is to increase the amount of beams (some of the models on diverse models page have that concept).
My objective is to produce all models, but the different shapes is only a matter of design diversification, because the change of propulsion system is a matter of adding parts.
What I need to produce is the capital, the rest (the molds, the mackets, the mock ups) I can provide. If you would like to produce it there (I don’t know where you live, but anywhere outside Brazil it can be produced without royalties payment), it will be great, because I’ll import it from you.

Hi
I developed new 3d models for my project. They can be seen at
