ABSTRACT:
A foil stabilized monohull vessel which functions as a multiple hull vessel at rest or at low speeds is described. The vessel comprises a main center hull which supports a deck thereover, and a stabilizing structure disposed on either side of the deck. The stabilizing structure includes floats which are intended to rest on the water when the vessel is at rest or at low speeds, and intended to be removed from the water when the vessel is at high speeds. The stabilizing structure also includes one or more pairs of opposed foils which act as stabilizers disposed on the port and starboard sides of the vessel. The stabilizer foils act in concert to reduce roll and improve maneuverability.
