ABSTRACT:
A catamaran vessel comprises a pair of spaced, parallel elongated pontoons with a strut extending upwardly from each of the pontoons and a superstructure supported on the struts for riding above the waterline. Each pontoon has a sharp chine at its inner and outer edges and is of varying cross-sectional width along at least part of its height, with the widest point in the cross-section being situated below the upper surface of the pontoon. The lower surface of each pontoon comprises a planing surface on which the vessel planes at speed.
