ABSTRACT:
A boat hull constructed with an inverted U-shaped hull bottom, hull sides which are vertical below the at-rest water line and outwardly curved in a deep arc above the at-rest water line, and a rudderless, arcuate concave tunnel from bow to stern is disclosed. Preferably, the port and starboard gunwales are parallel and the port and starboard chines are parallel. The inventive boat hull is capable of smoothly and rapidly assuming a hydroplaning position without use of submerged hydrofoils, and without pounding upon waves. The hull is navigable in fouled water, substantially reduces water sprayed aboard, and eliminates "tripping" when navigated through sharp turns.
