    摘要: A boat, boat systems, and methods to determine when a water-sports participant has fallen. The boat may include an image sensor and an image processor communicatively coupled to the image sensor. The image sensor is configured to capture at least one image of the environment aft of the stern of the boat. The image processor is configured to execute a rider-down analysis that includes analyzing, using an object recognition process executed by the image processor, an image to be analyzed to determine if a water-sports participant has fallen. The boat may include a controller configured to execute a rider-down action when the water-sports participant has fallen. The controller may execute the rider-down action when the image processor determines that the water-sports participant has fallen based upon the rider-down analysis.

    摘要: The present disclosure discloses an apparatus to move a watercraft from one location to another. The apparatus may include a first tire and a second tire, and a first leg and a second leg. Each leg may include a proximal end and a distal end. The first and second legs may be attached to the first and second tires via respective distal ends. The apparatus may further include a first bracket and a second bracket configured to receive the proximal ends of respective first and second legs. The apparatus further includes a first indexing plate and a second indexing plate which are attached to the first bracket and the second bracket. Further, the apparatus includes first and second pull assemblies configured to engage or disengage with the respective first indexing plate and the second indexing plate to move the apparatus between a stow position and transport position.

    摘要: A kit is for towing through water by a swimmer to transport items, which comprises: an inflatable flotation device and a dry bag (32). The flotation device comprises, when inflated, a lead portion (10a), two spaced side portions (10b, 10c) each extending rearwardly from the lead portion, and attachment means. The dry bag (32), which may be separate to the flotation device, has an openable, water-tight closure. The side portions, when the device is inflated, and the dry bag are respectively shaped to cooperate so that the side portions provide support for the dry bag. The flotation device including the attachment means is arranged to attach the dry bag to the flotation device such that the closure (34) is located above a lead portion of the flotation device. The kit is attachable to a tow leash (32) such that a swimmer can tow the flotation device with the dry bag attached in water and such that the lead portion leads through the water.

    摘要: An inflatable shuttle boat including a seat tube, a pair of exterior buoyancy tubes, and a pair of foot support tubes. The seat tube has an elongate, cylindrical outer surface that is centrally located and extends from a front end to an aft end, the seat tube sized for single-file, straddled seating of a plurality of riders on top of the cylindrical outer surface. The pair of exterior buoyancy tubes have an elongate shape providing exterior sides of the inflatable shuttle boat, each of the pair of exterior buoyancy tubes having a larger diameter and height than the seat tube and extend in a parallel disposition to the seat tube at right and left sides. The pair of foot support tubes have elongate shapes extending adjacent and parallel to the seat tube in coupled engagement between the pair of exterior buoyancy tubes and the seat tube.

    摘要: An adjustable sports rope comprised of a hollow base rope sheath and an adjustment rope. The hollow base rope sheath is a hollow sheath with at least two openings. The adjustment rope enters into the hollow base rope sheath through one of the at least two openings and exits the base rope sheath through another of the at least two openings. The one end of the hollow base rope sheath terminates at a tie point. The end of the adjustment rope disposed furthest from the hollow base rope sheath tie point is also a tie point. By creating a tensile force between the tie point of the hollow base rope sheath and the tie point of the adjustment rope, the hollow base rope sheath will tighten on the adjustment rope, holding the adjustment rope in place.
