| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a watercraft having a wave suppressing "M-shaped" hull design. The hull comprises a central displacement body flanked by two downwardly extending outer skirts. The outer skirts are attached to the displacement body by planing wings having wing channels. The bow wave is directed into the wing channels, thereby increasing planing efficiency and reducing the effect of such waves on other boats and the shoreline. One embodiment takes the form of a twin-hull catamaran with two M-shaped hulls and four arcuate channels for containing the spiraling bow waves from the two central displacement bodies, thus to increase lateral stability and to suppress boat waves to protect nearby boats and structures at the water/land interface.
