ABSTRACT:
A tranverse body is positioned underwater forward of the bow for reducing the surface wave caused by the bow and for increasing the fluid velocity at the forward surface of the bow. The body may be a cylinder, or a lifting body foil, the axis of which is generally parallel to the water surface, bow interface and may be supplied with winglets extending upwardly and inwardly at the edges thereof to form a body similar to a manta ray. The thickness of the body may vary transversely along it so as to counteract the transversely varying surface wave at the bow of the skimmer.
