ABSTRACT:
A water going vessel, which may be a mono hull-type vessel or a multihull-type vessel has a hull which is divided lengthwise into a row or rows of individual hull sections. Each hull section is pivoted along its outer edge to an outer edge of a deck frame of the vessel. The hull sections can be swung upwardly and out of the water individually for inspection and treatment without substantially affecting the buoyancy of the vessel as a whole. The entire hull can be inspected and treated, without having to pull the vessel from the water, by lifting the individual hull sections in sequence.
