The invention relates to a system (16) for providing an air lubricating layer between a substantially flat bottom (6) of the hull (4) of a vessel (1) and water flowing under the bottom as the vessel is moving through the water. The system has a cavity (33) with a deflector. The deflector has an elongate part (29,34,34') extending in the length direction of the cavity over at least at least 5 pcnt , preferably at least 10 pcnt of the cavity length L, wherein a projected area of the at least one deflector member (24,24'-26,26') on the interface plane (30) covers at least 25 pcnt , preferably at least 50 pcnt , most preferably at least 75 pcnt of the surface area of the interface plane. |
