Abstract: This invention relates to a hull construction more particularly for marine craft provided with power propulsion. The hull includes at least one layer of tube-like members which extend longitudinally of the hull and are interconnected to form an integral structure. Winches are positioned on the hull and are operable to impart a predetermined upward bending or shaping to one or both end portions of the tube-like members which are preferably formed of a plastics material such as polyethylene.
