Water craft and method for manufacturing such a water craft

A water craft comprising:

• a hull;
• a first water line at lightweight displacement of the water craft;
• and
• a second water line at full load displacement of the water craft,
• wherein the hull comprises an opening and a lowerable segment arranged in said opening,
• wherein the lowerable segment is coupled to the hull via a lifter,
• wherein the lifter is configured to lower or raise the lowerable segment with respect to the hull between
• a first position in which an outer surface of a bottom wall of the lowerable segment is substantially flush with a part of the outer surface of a bottom of the hull adjacent to the lowerable segment,
• wherein the lowerable segment extends in a substantially vertical direction between the bottom of the hull to a position above the second water line of the hull, and
• a second position in which an outer surface of the bottom wall of the lowerable segment is arranged below said part of the outer surface of the bottom of the hull adjacent to the lowerable segment,
• wherein the lowerable segment is arranged below the second water line of the water craft,
• wherein the lowerable segment comprises a substantially horizontal partition plate which divides the lowerable segment in a lower compartment and an upper compartment,
• wherein the lower compartment is substantially watertight,
• wherein the upper compartment is configured to be at least partially filled with water when the lowerable segment is lowered from the first position, and
• wherein the upper compartment is configured to be drained when the lowerable segment is raised to the first position, and
• wherein, when the lowerable segment is in the first position, the partition plate is arranged substantially at a level in a range including and between the first and second water line of the water craft.
