Flexible ocean-going vessels with surface conforming hulls

A watercraft comprising:

• first and second flexible hulls;
• first and second motor pods, each flexibly coupled to a respective flexible hull;
• and,
• a module adapted to carry a load above a water surface;
• the module being coupled to flexible members coupled to the first and second flexible hulls;
• whereby the flexible hulls and motor pods may independently follow the surface of the water while supporting the module above the surface of the water.

A watercraft comprising:

• first and second inflatable hulls;
• first and second inflatable motor pods, each hinged to a respective flexible hull;
• first and second engines, each engine being mounted in a respective motor pod;
• and,
• a module adapted to carry a load above a water surface;
• the module being coupled to flexible members coupled to the first and second hulls;
• whereby the hulls and motor pods may independently follow the surface of the water while supporting the module above the surface of the water.

A watercraft comprising:

• first and second hulls coupled together by a structure above a water surface;
• a module adapted to carry a load above the water surface;
• the module being detachably coupled to the structure between the first and second hulls for support of the module between the first and second hulls and above the surface of the water
• the module and structure being configured to allow the module to be detached from the structure coupled to the hulls and lowered to the water for service as a separate watercraft.
