Title:
WATER GOING VESSEL HULL AND METHOD FOR HULL DESIGN
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1998054048
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The present invention provides a design for a water going vessel hull and a method for determining useful hull design, and particularly multihull design, with emphasis on applicability to smaller trimaran vessels operating as displacement hulls but at speeds comparable to planing hulls. The present invention further relates to a trimaran design that includes a slender displacement type main hull with two outrigger hulls. More particularly, the invention relates to a boat hull that utilizes planing hulls or slender ellipsoidal displacement hulls as outrigger hulls, and an ellipsoidal hull (preferably, one which is longitudinally non-symmetric with and without a transom stern) as a main hull.
