The multiple-hulled ship comprising a central float with a large length:width ratio connected by load-bearing connection means (1) with side floats (2, 3) is characterised in that the side floats possess permanently submerged portions whose buoyancy is so calculated as to exert on the connecting means, in still water, an Archimedean thrust less than or no greater than that exerted on these means by the central float. <IMAGE> |
