Abstract
A watercraft such as a canoe and the like which is propelled by paddling is disclosed that can be paddled on one side and propelled generally in a straight line. The watercraft includes an asymmetrical hull which is asymmetrical along its length and also from side to side. There is a larger volume on one side of the longitudinal center line of the hull than the other. A keel line defined by the bottommost portion of the hull forms a sinuous path from the bow to the stern. For a right handed paddler, the large volume is on the starboard side in the bow section of the hull, and is on the port side in the stern section of the hull. The keel line changes over at a transition section which is symmetrical from the port to the starboard side. The paddling position is slightly aft of the transition section with a paddler properly positioned, the craft may be propelled generally in a straight line by paddling only on the right side, and the craft may be turned left to right by leaning forward and rearward, respectively.
