<p>A catamaran float (15) is produced by joining together three sections, namely a prow section (12), a fillet (13) and a tailfin (14) which have been cut out from a single rectangular panel of stock size, the shapes of the three sections being chosen such that there is no or very little waste material. Two such floats (15) can be joined together to produce a basic catamaran hull by means of a main deck (16) and a tailplane (17), which themselves are provided as two parts of a third rectangular panel, preferably of the same size as the panels from which the floats are cut. Further developments include laminating the parts of two panels to obtain an overlap joint, use of laminated panels generally, and use of such floats in construction of a flying boat.</p> |
