2. Multihull - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multihull

   A multihull is a boat or ship with more than one hull, whereas a vessel with a single hull is a monohull. The most common multihulls are catamarans (with two hulls), and trimarans (with three hulls). There are other types, with four or more hulls, but such examples are very rare and tend to be specialised for particular functions. [1]

A catamaran (/ ˌ k æ t ə m ə ˈ r æ n /) (informally, a "cat") is a watercraft with two parallel hulls of equal size. The wide distance between a catamaran's hulls imparts stability ...

4. Tunnel hull - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunnel_hull

   Theoretical research and full-scale testing of tunnel hulls has demonstrated the dramatic contributions of 'close-proximity ground effect' on enhanced aerodynamic lift/drag in operation of performance tunnel hull designs. [1] Tunnel hulls are distinguishable from other catamarans by the typical close hull spacing and solid deck in between the ...

7. Small-waterplane-area twin hull - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Small-waterplane-area_twin_hull

   A small waterplane area twin hull, better known by the acronym SWATH, is a catamaran design that minimizes hull cross section area at the sea's surface. Minimizing the ship's volume near the surface area of the sea , where wave energy is located, minimizes a vessel's response to sea state, even in high seas and at high speeds.
