ABSTRACT:
A catamaran suspension system is mounted between the deck (16) and hulls (11) of a catamaran (10). The suspension system has a pair of tracks (31), (32) mounted to the deck on which carriages (33) having a shock absorber (38) are movably mounted. A pivotable arm (44) is mounted between each carriage and a hull of the catamaran with a strut (50) pivotably mounted between the arm and deck. The suspension system dampens the forces exerted on the hull through the movement of the carriages to minimize deck movement.
