  • Small waterplane area multihull (SWAMH) vessel
    Patent number: 6698375
    Abstract: A Small Waterplane Area MultiHull non-motorized vessel having an upper hull platform located above the design water line of the vessel which is maintained above the surface of a body of water by at least two cylindrical submerged hulls joined thereto by supporting struts. A buoyant core material is contained between inner and outer walls of the submerged hulls which define a cylindrical space in which a rotary propulsive means may be housed. In one embodiment, an engine means is situated . . . means to provide a propulsive force.
    Type: Grant

    Publication number: 20020193020
    Abstract: A Small Waterplane Area MultiHull vessel having an upper hull platform located above the design water line of the vessel which is maintained above the surface of a body of water by at least two cylindrical submerged hulls joined thereto by supporting struts. A buoyant core material is contained between inner and outer walls of the submerged hulls which define a cylindrical space in which a rotary propulsive means may be housed. In one embodiment, an engine means is situated on the upper hull platform and is joined to the rotary propulsive means through a work translating means which converts the output of the engine to rotary motion of the rotary propulsive means to provide a propulsive force.

  • Small waterplane area multihull (SWAMH) vessel with submerged turbine drive
    Patent number: 6213042
    Abstract: A small waterplane area multihull (SWAMH) vessel having an upper hull platform located above the design water line of the vessel which is maintained above the surface of a body of water by at least two cylindrical submerged hulls joined thereto by supporting struts. A buoyant core material is contained between inner and outer walls of the submerged hulls which define a cylindrical space in which a rotary propulsive means is housed. An engine means is situated on the surface platform and is joined to the rotary propulsive means through a work translating means which converts the output of the engine to provide a propulsive force.
