ABSTRACT:
A small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) vessel is disclosed which includes a pair of normally submerged hulls that provide buoyancy support for the vessel. An upper hull platform located above the design water line of the vessel is connected to the submerged hulls by at least two pairs of struts respectively associated with each of the submerged hulls. The submerged hulls are arranged to define an acute angle between them. In one embodiment the vertex of the angle is rearward of the submerged hull and in another embodiment it is forward of the submerged hull. In other embodiments of the invention the struts are arranged to define dihedral angles between the struts and the upper hull platform. In addition, the struts may be angled with respect to the center line of the vessel.
