VESSEL WITH IMPROVED MOTION CONTROL

摘要

The invention concerns a vessel having a planing surface and a transom at a stern of the vessel, mounted on the transom is an interceptor and an actuator to move the interceptor in vertical direction. In accordance with the invention the transom defines a sharp edge with the planing surface and the underside of the interceptor comprises a convex rounded edge extending upwards to the rear with a leading edge of the convex rounded edge having a tangent approximately parallel to the water flow along the planing surface near the transom, and/or the transom defines a convex rounded edge with the planing surface with a leading edge of the convex rounded edge being tangent to the planing surface and the interceptor defines at its lowest part a sharp edge that can move behind the convex rounded edge in vertical direction.

1. A vessel having a vessel length and a planing surface that in a forward moving vessel guides a water flow rearwards to a rear end and a transom at a stern of the vessel, mounted on the transom is an interceptor and an actuator to move the interceptor in vertical direction, wherein the transom defines a sharp edge with the planing surface and the underside of the interceptor comprises a convex rounded edge extending upwards to the rear with a forward or leading edge of the convex rounded edge having a tangent approximately parallel to the water flow along the planing surface near the transom, and/or the transom defines a convex rounded edge with the planing surface with a forward or leading edge of the convex rounded edge being tangent to the planing surface and the interceptor defines at its lowest part a sharp edge that can move behind the convex rounded edge in vertical direction, and/or the transom and the interceptor both have a convex rounded edge and the tangent to the convex or rounded edge at the forward or leading edge of the interceptor is approximately parallel to the tangent at the rear of the convex rounded edge extending from the planing surface to the transom.
