Abstract
High speed turning characteristics of a vee type planing hull are increased by the use of after, outboard running surfaces which are concavely configured and include transverse wedges across the after, inboard halves thereof.
Claims5
A deep vee entry hull having a central running surface extending fore and aft thereof flanked, in the after portion of the hull, by intermediate and outboard running surfaces;
- said intermediate running surfaces being planar and exhibiting, with said central running surface, a V configuration in cross section;
- said outboard running surfaces being concave in cross section;
- the curvature of said concave outboard running surfaces, at a given fore and aft position, being constant up to and including an outer lip merging the same with the hull side-walls;
- and said outboard running surfaces terminating at the aft ends thereof in transverse wedge means.
