<p>A hull arrangement for a multihull watercraft wherein the hull length of the watercraft can be varied. The watercraft (2) includes two hulls (4) disposed side by side beneath a superstructure (6). Each hull (4) includes two hull sections (8a, 8b) which can be moved between a first configuration where the hull sections of each hull (4) are out of longitudinal alignment and in a side-by-side disposition, and a second configuration where the hull sections (8a, 8b) of each hull (4) are in longitudinal alignment thereby forming hulls (4). By moving the hull sections (8a, 8b) between the first and second configurations the overall hull length of the watercraft (2) can be varied. The hull sections (8a, 8b) are interconnected by rails (10, 12) which allow the hull sections (8a, 8b) to move parallel and lateral to their length.</p> |
