Abstract: A twin-hull catamaran boat or vessel comprising of four hydrodynamic pod sections connected with a mid-span recess on each hull that receives mechanically inducted gas or air for hull support. Each hull shape of the twin-hull catamaran configuration contains one V-shaped hull portion forward (bow), one mid-length hull cavity portion that receives pressurized gas or air therein (amidships), and one V-shaped hull portion aft (stern). The V-shaped bow portion creates hydrodynamic lift, the air or gas mechanically pressurized mid-length recess portion creates an air cushion to lift the hull in order to reduce wetted surface and drag on the hulls, and the V-shaped stern portion provides hydrodynamic lift to support the aft portion of the twin-hull catamaran configuration and also to provide an aft sealing body for the mechanically pressurized air or gas mid-length cavity.
