Abstract
A human powered watercraft has a bicycle type pedal and crank drive system linked to a propeller on a vane which positions the propeller below the water line, when in use. The propeller is driven via the crank drive system which may include gears, pulleys or sprockets linked to the propeller via belts or chains, and one or more reduction systems. A handle bar supported on the hull has a steering system connected for steering the vane, or the propeller on the vane, via cables.
